A Heaven In You

in the morning when i wake and when the sun starts to shine. 

and on that stretch of road that leads to work you're always on my mind. 

i think of you when im at work cause it helps speed up the time. 

and being away from you for so long seems like such a crime. 

if loving you is wrong then i dont want to be right. 

becuase holding you so close to me feels so good at night. 

if i could freeze a moment it would be when i look into your eyes. 

because its like looking into a universe as vast as the open skies. 

white represents the sillouettes of the formations in the clouds.

and then theres baby blue just like the sky above me now.

as i look deeper into your eyes its like glancing from a far. 

the shine in your pupil looks like a cluster of shiny stars. 

if i look a little deeper im sure that i'll see heaven too.

but why would i search for heaven when heaven is in you
