Lyrics
Having you so near, so near
Makes me feel immortal dear
You’re divine! and I reflect your light
I could stretch and reach the sky
Pluck the stars that shine on high
I’m in touch with paradise tonight
Refrain:
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
To share every scheme with you
Be able to dine with you and dance with you
And dream with you
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
Just heaven on earth to be with you
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
To struggle and strive with you
To have the delight to be
And right to be alive with you
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
Just heaven on earth to be with you
No use concealing
You’ve been revealing my future hope in your eyes
It’s you I’m needing, for I’ve been reading
My horoscope in your eyes
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
To go hand in glove with you
To be so romantic’ly and frantic’ly in love with you
Oh! Isn’t it heavenly
Just heaven on earth to be with you
