Lyrics
LIVING IN HEAVEN
(c) Dennis Long 2013
One year to the day since you left me
I'm staying with friends in Tennessee right now
Things are looking up
I'm trying to get on at the factory
That's my future far as I can see right now
I'm not giving up
I'm just trying to find my way
In this ordinary world
I've got so much to say
But I just can't find the words
CHORUS:
After living in heaven with you so long
The sun don't seem to shine as strong
As it used to
Like you used to
I miss living in heaven with you so much
I miss your smile, I miss your touch
And, Baby, how are things with you?
How are things in Heaven?
How are things in Heaven?
I know someday I'll be moving on
But today ain't that day so I guess I'll go on
Missing you
I haven't kissed a girl since you
Sometime I swear I can feel you here
I know you're looking down from up there
Just watching me
Shining your love down on me
While I'm trying to find my way
In this ordinary world
I've got so much to say
But I just can't find the words
CHORUS:
After living in heaven with you so long
The sun don't seem to shine as strong
As it used to
Like you used to
I miss living in heaven with you so much
I miss your smile, I miss your touch
And, Baby, how are things with you?
How are things in Heaven?
How are things in Heaven?
I know you're gone
And I can't pretend
But doesn't mean
My love for you has to end
CHORUS:
After living in heaven with you so long
The sun don't seem to shine as strong
As it used to
Like you used to
I miss living in heaven with you so much
I miss your smile, I miss your touch
And, Baby, how are things with you?
How are things in Heaven?
How are things in Heaven?
One year to the day since you left me
I'm staying with friends in Tennessee right now
Things are looking up
