Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life was always draggin' on
You showed me how to be in love
I realize when you were gone
[Verse 2]
That I love everything about you, baby
[Verse 3]
'Cause you're the vision in my mind
Your spirit is so sweet and strong
You help me up when I'm broken down
[Verse 4]
And I love everything about you, baby
Never let our love fall away
[Verse 5]
'Cause this is heaven, when you're close to me
Oh, it flows like a river
This is heaven, when you're close to me
And I'll give a piece
A piece of my heart
[Verse 6]
'Cause you're the star in all my dreams
You keep me goin' on and on
No one knows what you do for me
[Verse 7]
And I love everything about you, baby
Never let our love fall away
[Verse 8]
'Cause this is heaven, when you're close to me
Oh, it flows like a river
This is heaven, when you're close to me
And I'll give a piece
A piece of my heart
[Verse 9]
Don't let go, livin' for you, baby
Don't let go, livin' for you, baby
Don't let go, livin' for you, baby
Don't let go (Never let love fall away)
[Verse 10]
And I love everything about you, baby
[Verse 11]
This is heaven, when you're close to me
Oh, it flows like a river
This is heaven, when you're close to me
And I'll give a piece of my heart
This is heaven, when you're close to me
Oh, it flows like a river
This is heaven, when you're close to me
And I'll give a piece of my heart
(Heaven, close to me)
(Heaven, close to me)
(I'll give a piece, piece of my heart)
(Heaven, close to me)
