about

One of the more perfect little ballads I know. A song of relatively recent vintage that feels deeply like a standard in its writing and setting.

lyrics

Little Trip To Heaven (Tom Waits)

Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love
and a moon shining in the sky.
Feel like I’m in heaven when you’re with me
Know that I’m in heaven when you smile.
While I’m stuck here on the ground
I’ve got something that I’ve found
And it’s you. It’s you.

I don’t have to take no trip to outer space.
All I have to do is look at your face and
before I know it I’m in orbit around you.
Thankin’ my lucky stars that I found you.
When I see you constellation, honey I know
you’re my inspiration and it’s you.

You’re my North Star when I’m lost and feeling blue.
The sun is breaking through those clouds
can’t you feel it, too?
Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you.
Thankin’ my lucky stars that I found you.
When I see your smiling face, Honey,
I know nothing’s ever gonna take your place
Cause it’s you. It’s you. It’s you.
