The Closest Thing To Heaven - Carl Anderson

Love was tender

Remember

I looked and it was in your eyes

And the moment

The phone went

It triggered my emotions

All you have to do is call

And I came running

Why did you have to throw it all away

Leaving me wandering what to do or say

You’re the closest I’ve ever been to heaven

And I’m the furthest thing from your mind

I know 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

Was it for the rest of our lives

Or was I dreaming

Maybe I should’ve realized from the start

That it was leading to a broken heart

You’re the closest I’ve ever been to heaven

And I’m the furthest thing from your mind

I know 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

If only you knew how much I cried

I want you to stay

You’re the closest I’ve ever been to heaven

And I’m the furthest thing from your mind

I know 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

I keep hoping we won’t have to let it

Slip away

I keep hoping we won’t have to let it

Slip away

Slip away

Don’t let it

Slip away

He-ey

(No one could take your place)
