Heaven Right Here (On Earth)

by Leroy Hutson

on Closer To The Source (1978)

i>Spoken:
Every once in awhile, my good buddies and I, we get together and, Uhh, shoot the breeze and philosphise about such things as whether or not there is the hereafter -- a place called heaven where you go if you're good while you're here -- on the other plane, whether or not there's a hell where you burn in hellfire if you commit a sin against the almighty...I don't think we have to worry about that, though

I hear people saying getting ready for the hereafter
And making it to Heaven is the only thing that matters
I don't think there's somewhere, that abyss, (in the abyss) girl, baby
Cause I hear angels singing everytime we kiss

I've got heaven right here on earth (right here)
When I'm touchin' you girl
I said you showed me just what I'm worth, Yeah, now
When I'm loving you, girl, Ooooh, Ooooh, Yeah, Yeah

So let's enjoy this love we've got
Cause we've got each other, girl, so we surely got a lot
So let's live (oughta live it up)
-- let's live, it's just a one time shot

I've got heaven right here on earth (right here)
When I'm touchin' you, girl
I said you showed me just what I'm worth
When I'm loving you, girl

So let's enjoy this love we've got
Cause we've got each other, girl, so we surely got a lot
So let's live, live, live (we oughta live it up)
It's just a one time shot, to live it or not, I've got

I've got heaven right here on earth (right here)
When I'm touchin' you girl (girl, yeahee, yeah, yeah, now)
You know, you showed me just what I'm worth
When I'm loving you, girl, Yeah, Yeah

When I think about it, it's plain to see
Lookin' right in my face, yeah
All I've got to do, is keep you with me, I've got heaven

I've got heaven (hey, girl) right here on earth
When I'm touchin' you girl (when I'm touchin' you, when I'm touchin' you
Makes me feel good, baby, makes me feel good, baby, now)
You showed me just what I'm worth
When I'm loving you, girl (You're special, baby)

Heaven right here on earth (I'm in heaven, baby)
Heaven right here on earth
You showed me just what I'm worth
When I'm loving you, girl
