The Closest Thing to Heaven

Love was tender, remember?
I looked and it was in your eyes
And the moment before it triggered my emotions

All you had to do was call
And I came runnin'
Why did you have to throw it all away?
Leaving me wondering what to do or say?

You're the closest I've ever been to heaven
I'm the furthest thing from your mind
And though we make believe that we're still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping we won't have to let it slip away

Love was being and feeling nothing could ever take its place
We would give it; we lived it; we took it to the limit
Never thought I wasted our lives; or was I dreaming?
Maybe I shoulda realized from the start, that it was leading to a broken heart

You're the closest I've ever been to heaven
I'm the furthest thing from your mind
And though we make believe that we're still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping you won't have to let it slip away

If only you knew how much I cried, I want you stay

You're the closest I've ever been to heaven
I'm the furthest thing from your mind
And though we make believe that we're still together
I know it's just a matter of time
I keep hoping you won't have to let it slip away
I keep hoping you won't have to let it slip away
I keep hoping we won't have to let it slip away
Slip awaaay
Don't let it slip away-ay-ay-ay
No one can touch your love
