blues for heaven

Madeleine Peyroux

If the sun was always shining and the sky was always blue
I wouldn t have to worry all day
(She wouldn t have to worry all day)
If I could see a silver lining
in the cloud that blocks my view
I wouldn t have to worry all day
(She wouldn t have to worry all day)
I would bloom like fields of wildflowers
and dance the daylight hours away

Heaven oh Heaven
Dreaming of how sweet it must be
Heaven oh Heaven
Make room for a sinner like me

If the fires were always glowing
and the evenings sweet and long
I wouldn t have to worry all night
(She wouldn t have to worry all night)
If the tap was overflowing and the air a gentle song
I wouldn t have to worry all night
(She wouldn t have to worry all night)
I would whistle like the ocean
beckoning to the magic moonlight

Heaven oh Heaven
Dreaming of how sweet it must be
Heaven oh Heaven
Make room for a sinner like me

If the world was all inviting and love was always pure
I d never have to worry no more
(She d never have to worry no more)
If prospects were exciting and promises true and sure
I d never have to worry no more
(She d never have to worry no more)
But then I d be in heaven wondering what the worry was for

Heaven oh Heaven
Dreaming of how sweet it must be
Heaven oh Heaven
Make room for a sinner like me

Heaven oh Heaven
Dreaming of how sweet it must be
Heaven oh Heaven
Make room for a sinner like me
