Lyrics
I don’t picture heaven as a place up in the blue,
Far, far away in some imaginary sky.
My idea of heaven is a little place with you
Where we can dream and let the world go drifting by.
We can build that heaven if we try.
Chorus
We’ll paint the stars upon the ceiling
So they can shine for us alone;
There’ll be starlight every evening
In that home made heaven of our own.
We’ll hang a moon up in the blue room
To light our way when day has flown.
We’ll be dreaming in the moonlight
In a home made heaven of our own.
There’ll be rainbow in the doorway
And a stairway in the hall
That will lead me to an angel when the shadows fall.
And of course there’ll be a nursery
When neighbors call they’ll all be shown
Just the sweetest little love nest ever known;
Just a home made heaven of our own.
