[Intro – soft piano or acoustic guitar, very simple groove] [Verse 1] Morning light through the windowpane Coffee on the stove again She looks up and smiles my way And the whole world feels okay Kids running down the hall Shoes and jackets by the wall Life ain’t perfect, that’s the truth But it feels just right with you [Pre-Chorus – slight lift] I spent my life chasing dreams Looking everywhere but here [Chorus] This must be heaven, I can see Right here where you’re with me No shining gates, no stars above Just this quiet house full of love This must be heaven, soft and true Every little thing we do If paradise is meant to be It’s right here with you and me [Instrumental – short piano / guitar motif] [Verse 2] Sunday sun across the yard Nothing here is all that hard Just the sound of voices near And the ones I hold most dear Pictures hanging on the wall Every year we’ve had it all Not in riches, not in gold But the stories that we hold [Pre-Chorus] All those roads I tried to roam Only led me back home [Chorus] This must be heaven, I can see Right here where you’re with me No distant throne, no sky above Just this life and the ones I love This must be heaven, plain and true Every little thing we do If paradise is meant to be It’s right here with you and me [Bridge – almost spoken, very intimate] Maybe heaven isn’t far away Maybe it’s an ordinary day Where love is all around In every little sound [Final Chorus – slightly fuller band] This must be heaven, now I know Everywhere we go No shining crown, no stars above Just this wild and simple love This must be heaven, clear to see Right here where we’re meant to be If paradise is meant to be It’s right here with you and me [Outro – piano or guitar motif fading]
