Little Patch Of Heaven

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Glenn Slater
Performed by k. d. lang


I know a place pretty as pie
Out where the riverbend hits up with the end of the sky
It's left of Nebraska and over a crest
On a little patch of heaven way out west

Ev'rything's green
Know what I mean?
Darlin' it's quite the sweetest sight that you ever done seen
Ain't nothin' much out there
Just life at its best
On that little patch of heaven way out west

Bees by the dozen are buzzin' real peaceful
Ev'ry bluebonnet doggone it smells nice
Even the tumblin' tumbleweed
Slows down to match your speed
On my tiny half-an-acre of paradise!

Ev'ry which way
Buttercups sway
Out on the hill the daffodills are enjoyin' the day
What could be better
Than settin' to rest
On a little patch of heaven way out west?

Hummin' birds flutter in utter contentment
Ev'ry dark daisy feels lazy, you bet
Even the skeeters an' the fleas
Say "May I," "Thanks" and "Please"
Why, it's just as close to perfect as you can get!

Darlin', I swear
Once you been there
There ain't a view beneath the blue that could ever compare!
The only thing missin' is you as my guest
On that little patch of heaven way out west

Why don'tcha come visit?
There's room in my nest
On that little patch of heaven way out west!
