Heaven Knows - Janis Ian

Since I saw you, I have wondered —

Do you ever think of me?

As someone who could hold you tight

On those long and lonely nights

Could it be me who sets you free?

Free to feel the sky above you

Free to leave the earth below

We could make a symphony of tears

And hope that heaven hears

Somewhere in that sky tonight

There’s someone who could make it right

Heaven knows how much I want you

Heaven knows how much I care

We could own this sky

And every star that lights your eyes up there

If heaven only dared

Do you still believe in magic

Like the magic we once knew?

When even birds would stop their flight

Just to taste the light that we once drew

Is it still true?

If I could, I’d have you near me

If I only knew the words

I would call on every shining star

To witness where you are

And carry you on angel’s wings

Into my waiting arms again

Heaven knows how much I want you

Heaven knows how much I care

We could own this sky

And every star that lights your eyes up there

If heaven only dared

Dream on, until we find our way

You’ve got to hold your heart

I promise we will meet again

One bright and shining day

Heaven knows how much I want you

Heaven knows how much I care

We could own this sky

And every star that lights your eyes up there

If heaven only dared
