  • Heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven don't tear you apart
    Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven don't tear you apart

    There's too many kings want to hold you down
    And a world at the window gone underground
    There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
    And a clock on the wall and it counts my time

    And heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven won't tear you apart
    Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven don't tear you apart

    There's a song on the air with a love-you line
    And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
    And I'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes
    And I scream at the fools, want to jump my train

    And heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven won't tear you apart
    Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
    And heaven don't tear you apart
    Yeah heaven
    Ah heaven
    Yeah heaven Writer/s: MILES JAYE DAVIS

  • Toni from Long Island NyBest music. If you grew up in the 80’s life was sweet. It can never be the same with the technologies of today. Heaven and Black coffee in bed transport me back to the exact emotions the songs brought when they first came out. Invincible.
