Heaven on Earth

I know that heaven is out of earthly reach

But I think heaven on earth is a beach

Where the streets are paved with the sand and the sun

And on its fair avenues happy children run

I’ve heard the music, how sweet it is

Tuned perfection hummed by wind and waves

Blissful haven from daily demand

I could live forever in the sun and the sand

If I were an angel I would fly away

Where the tide washes up in a crystal spray

Yes, I know heaven is out of reach

But I’ve had a foretaste of its bliss on a beach
