This Close To Heaven Lyrics

Sittin' on the porch as the rain comes down
I'm a mixed up mind in a mixed up town
Without you
Uh huh
Carryin' a tourch for the one I love
It's a hell on earth with no chance for love
Without you
Uh huh
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
The band plays on but the tune's all wrong
I've been up all night
I've been down too long without you
Uh huh
A sentimental fool with a schoolboy drool
There ain't nothin' right
There ain't nothin' cool without you
Uh huh
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
Yeh I was this close to heaven
My heart won't slow down
No my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaart (won't slow down)
(music)
This close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
I was this close to heaven
Yeh I was this close to heaven
My heaaaart won't slow down
My heaaaart won't slow down
My heaaaart won't slow down
No my heeeeaaaart won't slow down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
