Les paroles de la chanson
« Heaven knows »
Leo Sayer

Nowadays they want a solider fighter
Not a preacher writer or a mystery man
Somebody told me that the future’s brighter
Make tomorrow lighter put it in your hands
But I don’t wanna cry anymore
Try anymore
Die anymore
Heaven knows I’m impatient
I can’t control these hands of fate
Heaven knows I’m still waiting
Are they too soon or am I too late
Oh is that so
Only heaven knows
Well I wanna know
Tell me is that so
Only heaven knows
Heaven only knows
Here come the Romeos the brave I told you so’s
The travelling G.I. Joes with come on lines
Here come the great defenders
Who think they can befriend us
Why do we all pretend to know these guys
Well I don’t wanna wait anymore
Be late anymore
Hate anymore
Heaven knows I’m impatient
I can’t control these hands of fate
Heaven knows I’m still waiting
Are they too soon or am I too late
Oh is that so
Only heaven knows
Well I wanna know
Tell me is that so
Only heaven knows
Heaven only knows
What a strange design
It’s a planet out of time
Someone tell me why
Is the world like that

[Solo]

Oh heaven knows
I said oh heaven knows
Heaven knows I’m impatient
I can’t control these hands of fate
Heaven knows I’m still waiting
Are they doo soon or am I too late
You resign yourself to a simple fate
To live your life by the sell by date
Haul yourself up the same old hill
Watch the world from you windowsill
We always want what we can’t afford
So we listen out for the missing chord
The chord is there and it’s in your mind
So why do you make it so hard to find
