Heaven Will Be Near Me

Michelle Tumes

Evening fills the crimson sky
Another day is leaving
And I think of you.
Waves roll in the afternoon
They echo in the rising moon,
And I think of you.

And I say, oh, Lord,
I think of you.
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.
And I say, oh, Lord,
I think of you.
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.

Families roam along the shore
Their laughter travels through my soul,
And I think of you.
Lovers watch the evening sky
They whisper as the wind goes by
And I think of you.

And I say, oh, Lord,
I think of you.
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.
And I say, oh, Lord,
I think of you.
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.

There's fire in my soul,
And there's healing in your eyes.
I just want to fly in your arms.
If ever I grow cold,
I want to realize
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.

Heaven will be near me
Heaven will be near me
Heaven will be near me
When I think of you.
