Johnny Cash - Nearest thing to heaven

^DI have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue. I ^Aheld my breath and watched the western ^Dsunset's golden hue. ^DI've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green.. but you're the ^Anearest thing to Heaven that I've ^Dseen.

^DYou're the ^Gnearest thing to Heaven, yes, you ^Dare. I have ^Asearched for happiness so long and ^Dfar. ^DBut my search for love was through, the ^Gday that I found you. Cause you're the ^Dnearest thing to ^AHeaven, yes, you ^Dare.

^DI confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms.. when the ^Asmile was flashed my way and stood be^Dfore two open arms. ^DBut I turned and walked away because I ^Glove you like I do, you're the ^Anearest thing to Heaven, darlin', ^Dyou.

^DYou're the ^Gnearest thing to Heaven, yes, you ^Dare. I have ^Asearched for happiness so long and ^Dfar. ^DBut my search for love was through, the ^Gday that I found you. Cause you're the ^Dnearest thing to ^AHeaven, yes, you ^Dare.

^DI have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day. Watched the ^Arainbow at twilight when the ^Dclouds had blown away. ^DI love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy your worth.. cause you're the ^Anearest thing to Heaven on this ^DEarth.

^DYou're the ^Gnearest thing to Heaven, yes, you ^Dare. I have ^Asearched for happiness so long and ^Dfar. ^DBut my search for love was through, the ^Gday that I found you. Cause you're the ^Dnearest thing to ^AHeaven, yes, you ^Dare.
