Heaven, heartache and the power of love

They say up in heaven the streets are gold
Once you get past the pearly gates
And the angels are singing
At the top of a dove white staircase

And I say heartache can burn you down like hell
Leave you begging "Baby, please don't go"
'Til you're scraping rock bottom
And crying in a deep, dark hole

Oh, and love can make you fly like a rocket
Put you on top of the world

I'm talking 'bout
Heaven, it's where I hope I'm going
Heartache, that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of love

Well, the preacher says when your time is up
You take a chariot to the Lord
Well, I'm hoping my chariot's
A torch red Thunderbird Ford

And my old flame said "I hate to break it to you, darling
I was born the leaving kind"
Left me standing in the drive
Crying why baby, why baby, why?

Oh, but real love's got me back in the saddle
Shouting "Amen!" again

That's what I know about
Heaven, it's where I hope I'm going
Heartache, that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of love

I've gotta keep loving and living
And learning and burning
Moving on down the road

Heaven, it's where I hope I'm going
Heartache, that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of

Heaven, it's where I hope I'm going
Heartache, that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of love, uh-huh
Heaven, heartache and the power of love

Heaven, heartache and the power of love

Heaven, where I hope I'm going
Heartache, that's where I've been
Heaven - mmhmm
Heartache, uh-huh
Heaven - that's where I'm going
Heartache, oh, that's where I've been
Heaven, where I hope I'm going
