Got a picture of your house and you're standing by the door
It's black and white and faded and it's looking pretty worn
I see the factory that I worked silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray but, man, they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move and the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night and you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breath
I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah
Now the lights are going out, along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and it makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go, no one really cares
I don't know what to do but I'm never giving up on you
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven, oh, oh, oh
Heaven, oh, oh, oh
Heaven, it's not too far away
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
It's black and white and faded and it's looking pretty worn
I see the factory that I worked silhouetted in the back
The memories are gray but, man, they're really coming back
I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
How I love the way you move and the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night and you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breath
I don't need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah
Now the lights are going out, along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and it makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go, no one really cares
I don't know what to do but I'm never giving up on you
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way
Heaven, oh, oh, oh
Heaven, oh, oh, oh
Heaven, it's not too far away
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

A good song about a man being determined to prove himself to a woman, no matter what other people think. Your friends are important but they should not control your life. People often tell you not to abandon your friends because of a relationship, however, I've seen the opposite happen. Jealous, possessive friends did not want another friend to have a partner/spouse.
