Alan Menken
Little Patch of Heaven
[Verse 1]
I know a place
Pretty as pie
Out where the riverbend
Hits up with the end of the sky

It's left of Nebraska
And over a crest
On a little patch of heaven
Way out west

[Verse 2]
Ev'rything's green
Know what I mean?
Darlin', it's quite the sweetest sight
Thatcha ever done seen

Ain't nothin' much out there
Just life at its best
On that little patch of heaven
Way out west

[Bridge 1]
Bees by the dozen
Are buzzin' real peaceful
Ev'ry bluebonnet
Doggone it, smells nice
Even the tumblin' tumbleweed
Slows down to match yer speed
On my tiny half-an-acre
Of paradise

[Verse 3]
Ev'ry which way
Buttercups sway
Out on the hills, the daffodils
Are enjoyin' the day

What could be better
Than settin' to rest
On a little patch of heaven
Way out west

[Bridge 2]
Hummin' birds flutter
In utter contentment
Ev'ry darn daisy
Feels lazy in bed

Even the skeeters an the fleas
Say "May I?", "Thanks", and "Please"
Why it's just as close to perfect
As you can get
[Verse 4]
Darlin', I swear
Once you been there
There ain't a view beneath the blue
That could ever compare

The only thing missin'
Is you as my guest
On that little patch of heaven
Way out west

[Outro]
Why don'tcha come visit
There's room in the nest
On that little patch of heaven
Way out west
