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 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 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 And whoa, somehow, the stars have all aligned And whoa, thank God that love found me 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 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 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 And whoa, I had to fall down on my knees And whoa, for you to finally show me 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 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 And whoa, thank God the stars have all aligned And whoa, thank God you showed me that 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
