Better Than This
(Nola Shepherd, Jim Quealy)

I’ve always believed
If I could live life right
I’d be redeemed someday
Was told it was true
So I never knew
That it could be this way
Here on this earth
Here in this humble place
I could find paradise beyond my wildest prayers

They say we’ll live forever in heaven
Happier than we’ve ever been
Future so bright, no fuss and no fight
Love that never comes to an end
But I’m already in this garden of Eden
I’ve been woken by an angels kiss
Forever might seem a fine place to be
But, heaven can’t be better than this

St Peter, don’t come calling for at least a hundred years
Cause I ain’t in no hurry baby to be anywhere but here

They say we’ll live forever in heaven
Happier than we’ve ever been
Future so bright, no fuss and no fight
Love that never comes to an end
But I’m already in this garden of Eden
I’ve been woken by an angels kiss
Forever might seem a fine place to be
But, heaven can’t be better than this

I know what it’s like to feel all your life
You’re waiting for someone to appear
I prayed every day to be taken away
So far from here
You came along after so many miles
Ready to settle down
Guess I'll just stay awhile
