Lyrics
[Intro]
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
But I live in Heaven with you
I thought I had to sleep before eleven
Till I felt midnight with you
[Intro]
I thought by now that I'd have found a million times around the world
A love that was true
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
Till I found Heaven with you
[Verse 1]
I've been runnin' round and round with life
And it's still undefeated
Every time that I get up, it knocks me down, and I've been thinkin'
I've been chasing shooting stars, burned out before I reach 'em
And now you're in my arms
My love, it sure is good to meet you
[PreChorus]
And whoa, somehow, the stars have all aligned
And whoa, thank God that love found me
[Chorus]
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
But I live in Heaven with you
I thought I had to sleep before eleven
Till I felt midnight with you
[Chorus]
I thought by now that I'd have found a million times around the world
A love that was true
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
Till I found Heaven with you
[Verse 2]
Ain't it funny how I never saw the roses
'Cause I was always thinkin' 'bout the thorns
Instead of catching my breath at the stoplights of life
All I heard was people honking horns
[PreChorus]
And whoa, I had to fall down on my knees
And whoa, for you to finally show me
[Chorus]
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
But I live in Heaven with you
I thought I had to sleep before eleven
Till I felt midnight with you
[Chorus]
I thought by now that I'd have found a million times around the world
A love that was true
I thought I had to die to go to Heaven
Till I found Heaven with you
[PreChorus]
And whoa, thank God the stars have all aligned
And whoa, thank God you showed me that
[Chorus]
I didn't have to die to go to Heaven
'Cause I live in Heaven with you
Thank God I never had to die to go to Heaven in my life
'Cause I live in Heaven with you
And if someday I ever have to die to go to Heaven
I know I'll be in Heaven with you
