'CLOSE TO HEAVEN'

I've looked into the face of love,  and seen it look me back, And truly, I've known happiness,  in an old, one room shack. I've held tight the hands of friends,  when they were sick and forlorn. And I've kissed the tops of curley heads,  in the wee hours of the morn. I've stood atop His mountains,  looked across His endless sands. And I've seen a loved one placed,  back into His merciful hands. I've known life's joy's and sorrows,  as a part of God's great scheme. I'm grateful for each tomorrow,  and every day I am serene. Yes, all of life's many pleasures  spill over from my cup. And I am 'Close to Heaven'  each day the sun comes up!
