i was just a child / when you took my hand / we set the whole damned world on fire / you showed me what it was to be loved by a man / but one day the ax just fell / and the whole world got shot all to hell / there's a hole in my heart
we were so... so close to heaven / we were almost as good, as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / that was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close
our love was crazy and wild / tender and mild, slow and strong / tonight i'll set it on fire / as noble as a storm / the lightning fell from your eyes / suddenly, there was no goodbye / there's a hole in my heart
we were so... so close to heaven / we were almost as good, as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / that was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close
wax wings that flew too close to the sun / but wasn't it so fun to fly / it's far better to love, then to lose / than never to love, then to die / oh you were so... so close to heaven / we were almost, almost, almost as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / which was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close... to heaven / so close... to heaven
