CHORUS: 
One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his arms 
& I'll be in the midst of his magical charms 
One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his touch 
& then soon I'll be with the boy I love so much 

Can't wait till I'm with him; it's the only time I live 
That's why all of my love to him I give, yeah 
As the tears roll down my face, my eyes beat at steady pace 

(chorus) 

As I hurry down the street, bumpin' people that I meet 
They turn their heads to stare, but I don't even care 
Can't wait to see his smilin' face, can't wait to feel his warm embrace
One block from heaven 

(instrumental) 

(1st 2 lines of chorus) 

The only time I'm happy is when he's close by 
He's more than a prince; he's where my life begins 
Can't wait to feel his embrace; it makes me feel oh so safe 

(1st 2 lines of chorus) 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm just one block from heaven 
Yeah & I'll be with my baby, yeah yeah 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm one block from heaven 
& I'm gonna feel his magical charms 
One block from heaven, yeah I'm one block from heaven 
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I'm just one block from heaven 
& I'll be with my baby one more time 
...& fade
