Feels Like Heaven
George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you smile makes me come alive
You light up my day when your coming my way
All I do is look right in your face
I got one thing to say
[Chorus]
It feels like heaven to me nothing else matters
I'm making you all mine believe me you set my soul free
It feels like heaven to me
Come with me and I'm gonna take you there
To a place that love is everywhere
We'll shine like the stars wherever we are
Cause you already got every piece of my heart
Your making me AH
[Chorus]
From the moment I met you
Heaven came down to earth and I got a taste of
The goodness to come and there's nothing else I can do
But tell you
[Chorus]
