This Is Heaven 1929

I have often wondered whether it is true
that there's a heaven people talk about.
Happily I blundered into meeting you.
That there's a heaven I no longer doubt.

To have and hold you near
To know you love me dear
Sweetheart, this is heaven!
Tho' humble it may be
as long as you're with me,
Sweetheart, this is heaven.
It's not in yonder skies
Happiness reposes
But in your lovelit eyes
beaming through those red, red roses.
And when your lips and mine
meet in a kiss divine
this is my heaven dear.

To have and hold you near
To know you love me dear
Sweetheart, this is heaven!
Tho' humble it may be
as long as you're with me,
Sweetheart, this is heaven.
It's not in yonder skies
Happiness reposes
But in your lovelit eyes
beaming through those red, red roses.
And when your lips and mine
meet in a kiss divine
this is my heaven dear.

I would smile whenever someone said to me
That there are angels up there in the skies.
Now I have become one who knows there must be.
For I behold one here before my eyes.

To have and hold you near
To know you love me dear
Sweetheart, this is heaven!
Tho' humble it may be
as long as you're with me,
Sweetheart, this is heaven.
It's not in yonder skies
Happiness reposes
But in your lovelit eyes
beaming through those red, red roses.
And when your lips and mine
meet in a kiss divine
this is my heaven dear.

To have and hold you near
To know you love me dear
Sweetheart, this is heaven!
Tho' humble it may be
as long as you're with me,
Sweetheart, this is heaven.
It's not in yonder skies
Happiness reposes
But in your lovelit eyes
beaming through those red, red roses.
And when your lips and mine
meet in a kiss divine
this is my heaven dear.
