They say up in heaven the streets are gold
Once you get past the pearly gates
And the angels are singin'

At the top of a dove white staircase

And I say heartache can burn you down like hell

Leave you beggin' "Baby, please don't go"
'Til you're scrapin' rock bottom
And cryin' in a deep, dark hole


Oh, and love can make you fly like a rocket
Put you on top of the world


I'm talkin' 'bout
Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin'

Heartache - that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of love


Well the preacher says when your time is up
You take a chariot to the lord
Well I'm hopin' my chariot's

A torch red Thunderbird Ford

And my old flame said "I hate to break it to you darlin'"

"I was born the leavin' kind"
Left me standin' in the drive
Cryin' why baby, why baby, why?


Oh, but real love's got me back in the saddle
Shoutin' "Amen!" again





That's what I know about
Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin'
Heartache - that's where I've been

Heaven, heartache and the power of love

I've gotta keep lovin' and livin'

And learnin' and burnin'
Movin' on down the road


Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin'
Heartache - that's where I've been
Heaven, heartache and the power of


Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin'
Heartache - that's where I've been

Heaven, heartache and the power of love, uh-huh
Heaven, heartache and the power of love


Heaven, heartache and the power of love
Heaven - where I hope I'm goin'
Heartache - that's where I've been

Heaven - mmhmm
Heartache - oooh


Heaven - that's where I'm goin'
Heartache - oh, that's where I've been
Heaven - where I hope I'm goin'

Heartache
