Johnny Cash Album: Now Here's Johnny Cash Track: You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven Lyrics (Johnny Cash - Hoyt Johnson - Jimmy Atkins) © '58 E And M Publishing, BMI I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are I have searched for happiness so long and far But my search for love was through the day that I found you Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you You're the nearest thing to heaven... [ guitar ] I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth You're the nearest thing to heaven...
