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!
