[Verse 1]

Got a picture of your house

And you're standin' by the door

It's black and white and faded

And it's lookin' pretty worn

See the factory that I worked

Silhouetted in the back

Memories are gray

But man, they're really coming back


[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need to be the king of the world

As long as I'm the hero of this little girl


[Chorus]

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it every day

No matter what your friends might say


[Verse 2]

How I love the way you move

And the sparkle in your eyes

There's a color deep inside 'em

Like a blue suburban sky

When I come home late at night

And you're in bed asleep

I'll wrap my arms around you

So I can feel you breathe


[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need to be a superman, ah ah

As long as you will always be my biggest fan


[Chorus]

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it every day

No matter what your friends might say

We'll find our way, yeah


[Verse 3]

Now the lights are goin' out

Along the boulevard

The memories come rushin' back

And it makes it pretty hard

I got nowhere left to go

No one really cares

I don't know what to do

But I'm never givin' up on you


[Chorus]

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it every day

No matter what your friends say

I know we're gonna find a way


[Outro]

(Heaven)

Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh

(Heaven)

Whoa, whoa, oh, oh oh

(Heaven)

It's not too far away

Oh, oh

Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh

Yeah
