Heaven

Nanci Griffith · The Complete Mca Studio Recordings [1996]

I think I'll go to Heaven

And there I will lay me down

Leave all the pain behind me

I'll bury it in the ground

And maybe they'll talk about me

I pray it won't be lies

I think I'll go to Heaven

Heaven is in your eyes



I think I'll go to Heaven

I heard it's peaceful there

They don't allow your troubles

Everyone's had their share

And if I can be someone who

Never needs a disguise

Maybe I'll go to Heaven

'Cause Heaven is in your eyes



People in Heaven

Never look back

Higher and higher

The past fades to black



I think I'll go to Heaven

I'll sail on into the night

I'll watch as I set my soul free

Watch as my heart takes flight

Maybe I am too simple

And maybe I am too wise

Maybe I'll go to Heaven

'Cause Heaven is in your eyes
