Janis Ian - Heaven Knows lyrics

Since I saw you, I have wondered
Do you ever think of me?
As someone who could hold you tight
On those long and lonely nights
Could it be me who sets you free?

Free to feel the sky above you
Free to leave the earth below
We could make a symphony of tears
And hope that heaven hears
Somewhere in that sky tonight
There's someone who could make it right

Heaven knows how much I want you
Heaven knows how much I care
We could own this sky
And еvery star that lights your eyes up thеre
If only heaven dared

Do you still believe in magic
Like the magic we once knew?
When even birds would stop their flight
Just to taste the light that we once drew
Is it still true?

If I could, I'd have you near me
If I only knew the words
I would call on every shining star
To witness where you are
And carry you on angel's wings
Into my waiting arms again

Heaven knows how much I want you
Heaven knows how much I care
We could own this sky
And every star that lights your eyes up there
If only heaven dared

Dream on, until we find our way
You've got to hold your heart
I promise we will meet again
One bright and shining day

Heaven knows how much I want you
Heaven knows how much I care
We could own this sky
And every star that lights your eyes up there
If only heaven dared
