Closest Thing To Heaven Lyrics

Here they come
A lonely boy and a lonely girl
They can't say
Where they're goin'

Lonely...
With no money to spend
They can't sink
Any lower
Some people laugh all day
Some people cry, cry, cry
In the niight

This could be (this could be)
The cosest thing to heaven
I have ever known (I've ever known)
I've ever known

Can't try
Can't try any harder
Whose turn is it now
To win while we loose

Livin'...
Living at our expense
While we discover
Can't try, can't try
Any harder

This could be (this could be)
The closest thing to heaven
I have ever known (I've ever known)
I've ever known

Hey, what you gonna do
What you gonna do
Call me the king of fools

(Yeah) This could be (this could be yeah...)
The closest thing to heaven
I have ever known (I have ever known)
I've ever known, ooh-hooh-hooh-ooh
This could be (this could be)
The closest thing to heaven
I have ever known (I've ever known)
I've ever, yeah...
This could be...
(This could be) the closest thing
Call me the king of fools, call me the king of fools
Call me, call me, call me the king of fools...

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.
