Don't Take Away My Heaven

Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis

Oh baby, I found heaven when I found you

And this heaven is something I don't wanna lose

I only know that if you ever said goodbye, I couldn't stand the pain

These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain



And the sun would have nowhere to shine

And the stars would all fall from the sky

Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no



'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know

And I'd lose my whole world if you go

Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh, oh



Oh baby, I saw forever when I saw you

And if you left me, oh, I can't imagine what I'd do

Now that I've gone and built my world

Around your love, I couldn't let you go

Don't ever say goodbye, no, don't, don't, don't ever go



And the sun would have nowhere to shine

And the stars would all fall from the sky

Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no



'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know

And I'd lose my whole world if you go

Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven



'Cause you might as well take away my life from me

What good would a life without you be anyway



If you go away

The sun would have nowhere to shine

And the stars would all fall from the sky

Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh no



'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know

And I'd lose my whole world if you go

Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh, no



Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love

Don't take away my life, oh baby, I need your touch

Baby, please don't take away my heaven, oh no



Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love

Don't take away your love, oh baby, I need your touch

Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh no



Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love

Don't take away my life, oh baby, I need your touch

Baby, please, oh, don't take away my heaven, oh no
