It Ain't Heaven Till You Get Here
The stars are not as bright nor the moonlight as sweet
It is not the same until I find you in my arms
The air is damp and musty without you
I feel a chill that will not go away
Because I know it will never be heaven until you get here
My hands are cold, my eyes feel faded
Darkness seems cloying
My eyes burn
Tears never seem far away
I reach for you and find emptiness
I dream of kissing you
I breathe deeply and find only dust
My sleep is restless
And the reason is so simple
It's because heaven is with you
As long as we are parted I will wait
The truth feels like
it ain't Heaven till you get here
