Only Heaven Knows

[Verse 1]
I see your smile when the morning comes
You bring the light like the rising sun
Every little thing that you do
Makes my heart keep running to you

I catch your laugh in the hallway air
Like a sweet little prayer that lingers there
And every day, in a thousand ways
You turn the gray into golden rays

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to say it right
But my voice gives out tonight
'Cause the truth is standing there
In the way you fill the air

[Chorus]
Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
You better than I am
You better than I am

Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
How you got so far inside
How you stole my quiet pride

[Verse 2]
Late-day rain on your front porch steps
Your worn-out shoes and your soft-eyed breath
You tell me stories from your childhood home
And I feel less alone when you’re close

You fold your sleeves and you fix that stray
Little curl that falls in your face that way
And I swear, if I had one wish to spend
I'd keep this moment on repeat again

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to say it right
But my voice gives out tonight
'Cause the truth is standing there
In the way you fill the air

[Chorus]
Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
You better than I am
You better than I am

Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
How you got so far inside
How you stole my quiet pride

[Bridge]
Maybe love is just a name
For the fire we can't explain
I can hold you, I can stay
But some things still slip away

So I let the stars be wise
Let the answer hide in time
If I ever lose my way
I'll still know what I came to say

[Final Chorus]
Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
You better than I am
You better than I am

Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
How you got so far inside
How you turned my world in light

Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
You better than I am
You better than I am
