» That Was Heaven

Once upon a time

Back when I was seventeen

The sun shone everyday

Once upon a time

All the world was evergreen

And life so far away

 

I recall the face of everyone I ever knew

I remember none was ever lovelier than you

How I wish I knew

That was heaven

 

I remember this

The sky was always very blue

And the sun shone every day

I remember this

The garden where your roses grew

In that life so far away

 

I recall the most angelic girl I’d ever seen

Dancing through the fields awash in lavender and green

What I really mean

Is that was heaven

 

I dont need no pearly gates

Angels waiting up on high

I had it there and then 

Instead of when I die

 

Long ago

We danced to the beat of a different drum

And the sun shone every day

Long ago

I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come

And that life so far away

 

Looking through the years alit with summer’s fading glow

I recall the tears I shed the day I let you go

Now at last I know

That was heaven

 

Heaven

Heaven
