When I Think of Heaven Lyrics

You're a place I've never been

Paradise is a friend

How nice would it be if you could stay

'Cause when I'm with you I'm dreaming

Of sitting coffee out on a porch

Forty-odd years from now

Watching the birds

You take yours with cream and sugar

It's black and bitter for me

Just like a little child

Sat by the warming fire

With you in my arms, that's how I feel

Keep my eyes peeled when we find a chance to flee

Where I could arrange some chairs and an arch

Gather up all our friends

And lift a veil offa you

Take me to the river

To let God cleanse my soul

Well, I'm not a man of faith

But who really knows

'Cause when I think of heaven

There's no clouds above the sky

No pearly gates of white

It's just you and I

But if there's such thing as Heaven

I'd like to go there with you
