Purely Paradise

I’ve been to heaven here on earth, through this sin I did commit Although the path, we knew, was wrong, we continued, I admit With her wrapped in my arms, gazing deep into my eyes Even though I am hell bound, it was purely paradise Our marriages were stale; our spouses had grown bored We took it one day at a time – it was all we could afford We both were still too young to have our passion flames put out Just one kiss upon her lips and it removed all my doubt I’ve been to heaven here on earth, through this sin I did commit Although the path, we knew, was wrong, we continued, I admit With her wrapped in my arms, gazing deep into my eyes Even though I am hell bound, it was purely paradise When we can, we rendezvous When we can’t, we push through Waiting for that day to come around We live our lives of pretense But we know one day hence We will again enjoy this pleasure found I’ve been to heaven here on earth, through this sin I did commit Although the path, we knew, was wrong, we continued, I admit With her wrapped in my arms, gazing deep into my eyes Even though I am hell bound, it was purely paradise
