You're The Nearest Thing To Heaven
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Written by Johnny Cash, Hoyt Johnson, Jimmy Atkins

C
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
G7 C
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue

I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
G7 C
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

F C
You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
G7 C
I have searched for happiness so long and far
F
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
C G7 C
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are


I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms
G7 C
When a smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms

But I turn and walk away because I love you like I do
G7 C
You're the nearest thing to heaven darling you

Repeat #2


I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
G7 C
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away

I love the pretty flowers but he cannot buy their worth
G7 C
But you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

Repeat #2
