Lyrics by R. Keith Swanson, Music by Lisa Yves
Big band joy on this one!
lyrics
Heaven it’s not with angels above,
While gazing down on the one I love,
Ev’ryone sings as they all rejoice,
But why have wings if I have no choice?
I’ll take you,
Even if the gods expel me,
I’ll take you,
Even though they try to tell me.
That you’ll lead me astray,
So far away,
From the straight and narrow,
Then you’ll leave me one day,
Laughing and gay,
Heading for the falls in a barrel.
I’ll take you,
Even if you burst my bubble,
Just we two,
A roller coaster ride to trouble
If paradise waits,
Behind these pearly gates,
Without your heavenly eyes of blue,
Well they can have their paradise,
I’ll take you!
Well maybe it’s the devil in you,
Or maybe it’s the devil in me,
Maybe I’m too good to be true,
But I’m crazy about you,
I’m no good without you,
I’m hanging up my halo happy as can be.
I’ll take you,
Even just for one more minute,
I love you,
In your arms there’s no sin in it.
If your sweet embrace,
Means I'm falling from grace,
Well there’s nothing that I can do,
So just put those arms around me,
This time they’re gonna ground me,
Baby if you take me,
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you...
