Verse 1:

When I was still under seven,
My mother told me with pride,
Of the joys awaiting me in heaven,
And I long'd to have a look inside.
Although I may never reach there
Here's why I'm satisfied:

Chorus:

Happy am I,
I'll tell you why,
Somebody made me see
Just a little glimpse of paradise.
Each little kiss
Fills me with bliss,
With ev'ry kiss I see
Just a little glimpse of paradise.
It's very funny how I knew, when we met, I threw a seven,
Ev'ry evening I spread my wings and fly to my blue heaven.
Maybe there'll be
Someday when we
Tiptoe inside to see
Just a little glimpse of paradise.

Verse 2:

Home may be only a wee den
One that has no room to spare,
But it quickly turns into an Eden
If the one you love is waiting there;
Who two who love are together,
Heaven is anywhere;

[Chorus]
