From the recording A Little Bit of Heaven
Lyrics
I smile to see the look of wide-eyed wonder on your face
Captivated by this new world that you’ve found
And suddenly the things that seemed so commonplace
Are like a miracle to me now
You can chase away my sadness
You hardly have to make a sound
I find a little bit of heaven
Whenever you’re around
Never did believe in angels
Until you came to town
You bring a little bit of heaven
Whenever you’re around
Here for just a moment then they’re grown
The house is quiet now, life’s adjusted to a slower pace
Then your kids are having babies of their own
And you find that you are staring at a strange familiar face
I’ve heard it said that love was lovelier
The second time around
And I feel a bit like heaven
Whenever you’re around
You turn grown ups into children
You’ve got the power to astound
You turn this sad world into heaven
Whenever you’re around
If spreading joy was like baseball
Baby you would win the triple crown
You bring a little bit of heaven
Whenever you’re around
Me and Grandma both know something your folks will come to understand
Heaven comes in little doses that’s all that we’re allowed
The tired days and sleepless nights they think will never end
One day they’ll look back and smile and think how short it all seems now
So close your eyes my little darling
May your sleep be warm and sound
You bring a little bit like heaven
Whenever you’re around
