Píseň: That's Heaven To Me

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
I Thank God
(doo doo doo's by backup singers)
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) that's heaven to me


the feeling i have when i hear a touching prayer
it makes me know the lord is somewhere
even the birds flying around in the air
(that's heaven) that's heaven to me


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, wo wo wo


even the children playing in the street
sing a friendly hymnal to everyone that they meet
even the leaves blowing out, blowing out, blowing out, blowing out on the
tree
(that's heaven) that's heaven to me
(wo wo's by sam, doo doo's by backup)
