Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The things that I see
As I walk along the streets
That's heaven to me
[Verse 2]
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do-do
A little flower that blooms in May
A lovely sunset at the end of a day
Someone helping a stranger along the way
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, whoa
[Verse 3]
The feeling I have when I hear a touching prayer
It makes me know, the Lord is somewhere, yeah
Even the birds flying around in the air
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, no
[Verse 4]
It doesn't have to be a miracle
In order for me to see, I know
The goodness of my, my Savior
Is everywhere to me, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 5]
Even the children playing in the street
Sing a friendly hello to everyone that they meet
Even the leaves blowing out, blowing out
Blowing out, blowing out on the tree
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, whoa
[Verse 6]
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa, Lord
