Heaven Can’t Be Found Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I looked over at my pillow but your face wasn't there
And I don't smell the perfume you used to wear
I don't see your blouse or jeans or your pretty white cotton gown
I've looked all over hell but heaven can't be found

[Verse 2]
I looked on the bedside table but your jewelry was all gone
And I just wish you'd call me every time I look at the phone
I looked in our dressing mirror and I saw myself break down
Oh, I looked all over hell but heaven can't be found

[Verse 3]
I called and looked in every place you used to hang around
I've searched in every bar and club and honky tonk in town
And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down
I've looked all over hell but heaven can't be found

[Refrain]
And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down
Oh, I've looked all over hell but my heaven can't be found

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
