MY FIRST LOVE WAS HEAVEN LEE
HEAVEN LEE WAS THE FANTASY

JUST ONE LOOK WAS ALL IT TOOK

SINCE THE DAY SHE SAID I DO, MY LIFE'S BEEN HEAVEN LEE

THROUGH THE YEARS I'VE WONDERED JUST HOW LUCKY I COULD BE
WITH SOMEONE WHO LOVES ME BY MY SIDE, THAT'S HEAVEN LEE

HEAVEN LEE IS THE SUNRISE, AND THE COOLNESS OF THE NIGHT
WHEN I HAVE MY MIND ON HEAVEN, EVERYTHINGS ALLRIGHT

SINCE THE DAY SHE SAID I DO, MY LIFE'S BEEN HEAVEN LEE
WHEN SHE SAYS SHE LOVES ME TOO, MY LIFE IS HEAVEN LEE..........
