You were living in steady...with a big movie star....
Had the best of Who's Who...drove a Mercedes car....
With all that money and fame...he never offered you his name....
But I loved you darling....to me you're a Saint
Verse Two:
I don't live on the highest...knob hill in town....
This house is small and it's somewhat run down...
And I'm not looking yet...for a Hollywood address....
On the backstreets of Heaven...I'll be someday I guess....
The Chorus:
THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...WITH YOU IS HEAVENLY....
NO THE NEIGHBORS WON'T BE TALKING...NOBODY'S FIXING BLAME....
FOR YOU LEAVING YOUR BIG STAR...AND LEAVING LUXURY....
FOR THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...AND A POOR BOY LIKE ME....
Verse Three
Loving you special's my claim to fame....
On a backstreet Heaven...I offered you my name...
Now I'm Heaven bound...on a new avenue....
And this backstreet Heaven is heaven with you....
Repeat The Chorus
THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...WITH YOU IS HEAVENLY....
NO THE NEIGHBORS WON'T BE TALKING...NOBODY'S FIXING BLAME....
FOR YOU LEAVING YOUR BIG STAR...AND LEAVING LUXURY....
FOR THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...AND A POOR BOY LIKE ME....
Repeat The Chorus
THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...WITH YOU IS HEAVENLY....
NO THE NEIGHBORS WON'T BE TALKING...NOBODY'S FIXING BLAME....
FOR YOU LEAVING YOUR BIG STAR...AND LEAVING LUXURY....
FOR THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN...AND A POOR BOY LIKE ME....
