Heaven Lyrics

Ain’t nothin like a bird in play to tickle my beard today,
work this way to sensuate my lips,
oh dear it’s my very first kiss,
to call upon the sermon today,
yes to call upon these words to say
ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...Lord take care of myself
do...do...do... take care of myself
when I find my way to heaven,
I will walk it down to earth,
I will tie my shoes to heaven,
well I will walk it down to earth,
walk it down now; do...do...do...Lord take care of myself,
walk it down now; do...do...do...Lord take care of myself,
walk it down now; do...do...do...Lord take care of myself,
I’ll take good care of myself, I’ll take good care of myself.
All will rise to be... in the air...
oh dear look’it the birds in play,
play, it’s twice we’ve tangled our strings today,
today, dunk your toys into the sky
into the sun our kites will fly,
oh dear look it the birds in play, play,
yes to call upon the sermon today
ooh...ooh...ooh...Lord take care of myself
do...do...do...take care of myself
cause when I find my way to heaven,
I will walk it down to earth,
I wil tie my shoes to heaven, well i will walk it
down to earth. walk it down now, do...do... do...do...do...do...do...
I’ll take good care of myself

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.

this song is snazzy.

I like the lines "work this way to sensuate my lips / oh dear it's my very first kiss" and " oh dear look't the birds in play / it's twice we've tangled our strings today ' dunk your toys into the sky / into the sun our kites will fly"

this song makes me feel very happy, which I think is the desired effect. it's about all of the days where we feel we might have heaven on earth. this song is summertime, first love, and ice cream....all wrapped up into one.
