Mary Wells - Looking Back 1961-1964

One Block From Heaven

One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his arms
& I'll be in the midst of his magical charms
One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his touch
& then soon I'll be with the boy I love so much

Can't wait till I'm with him; it's the only time I live
That's why all of my love to him I give, yeah
As the tears roll down my face, my eyes beat at steady pace

()

As I hurry down the street, bumpin' people that I meet
They turn their heads to stare, but I don't even care
Can't wait to see his smilin' face, can't wait to feel his warm embrace
One block from heaven

(1st 2 lines of)

The only time I'm happy is when he's close by
He's more than a prince; he's where my life begins
Can't wait to feel his embrace; it makes me feel oh so safe

(1st 2 lines of)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm just one block from heaven
Yeah & I'll be with my baby, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm one block from heaven
& I'm gonna feel his magical charms
One block from heaven, yeah I'm one block from heaven
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I'm just one block from heaven
& I'll be with my baby one more time
... & fade
