Lyrics You're The Nearest Thing To Heaven - Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two
I
have
sailed
the
peaceful
waters
of
the
ocean
deep
and
blue
I
held
my
breath
and
watched
the
western
sunsets
golden
hue
I've
flown
above
the
mountain
peaks
and
valleys
wide
and
green
But
you're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven
that
I've
seen
You're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
I
have
searched
for
happiness
so
long
and
far
But
my
search
for
love
was
through,
the
day
that
I
found
you
'Cause
you're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
I
confess
that
I've
been
tempted
by
a
luring
magic
charms
When
the
smile
was
flashed
my
way
and
stood
before
two
open
arms
But
I
turned
and
walked
away
because
I
love
you
like
I
do
You're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
darlin'
you
You're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
I
have
searched
for
happiness
so
long
and
far
But
my
search
for
love
was
through,
the
day
that
I
found
you
'Cause
you're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
I
have
watched
the
silver
raindrops
fall
to
earth
to
cool
the
day
Watched
the
rainbow
at
twilight
when
the
clouds
had
blown
away
I
love
the
pretty
flowers
but
they
cannot
buy
their
worth
But
you're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven
on
this
earth
You're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
I
have
searched
for
happiness
so
long
and
far
But
my
search
for
love
was
through,
the
day
that
I
found
you
'Cause
you're
the
nearest
thing
to
heaven,
yes,
you
are
