From Santa Barbara to Chicago

Have you ever been to heaven?...

No, I've never been there
Heard it's beautiful
He comes for you in a white blind light
Sky opens up and takes you inside

She then tells me, she's been somewhere remotely
To a place that resembles, house of the holy

She lies awake in bed
Adroned in a white summer dress and linen sheets
Overlooking out into a view
Of sheer paradise
From her bedroom window
Azure sky, golden sands
Ocean breeze mixes with
Sweet scented jasmine, permeating
Waves that crash upon the reefs
Heavenly Santa Barbara

Never been to heaven nor Santa Barbara
Sounds like their both in California
I've heard it's beautiful there
She reassures me that it is, I'm sure, my love!
Not as nearly as beautiful as you

But I've been to Chicago
And its like walking on cloud nine
Nothing like the the windy city
Filling your eyes with it's beautiful scenery
And if it's anything like heaven
I guess I've been there, just don't remember

I'll be waiting upon your arrival

Whether it's Chi-town or Santa Barbara
To accompany me at my side
To be lost in your eyes
Is like I've died and ascended into heaven
For I've never been there
