down the street?
Where is heaven, does anybody know?
Is it a place where we can come and go? Is heaven all around us or a place up above?

Is it far beyond the stars above or just north of the
moon? Where is heaven does anybody know?

Or the feeling you get from the touch of your true Oh, guardian Angel please guide us this day,
Love's first kiss? So we may know heaven somehow, someway.
