Lyric It s Not Heaven

(Olivia Newton-John/Randy Goodrum)

Here s your lunch money
You better hurry for the old school bus
Did you clean your teeth this morning
I know you hate it when I start to fuss
Here s the letter for your teacher
Your dinner s in the freezer
Five minutes in the microwave
Don t wait for me this evening
I m probably working late

Your dad is coming over
With his new lover
And I don t wanna be around
So I m gonna do some shopping
I ll buy you those stockings
I ll be back in half an hour
Oh it s my anticipation
There d be a confrontation
I know how much it breaks your heart
Let s be pleased for him--he s trying
To make a brand new start

It s not Heaven but it s all we ve got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we re living in reality
But we re gonna have a happy ending--you and me

We ll spend the weekend playing
I hope it won t be raining
When we go to the game with Dan
I know you think he s boring
But this time don t ignore him
Won t you give him half a chance
No he s not as fun as dad
But there s good as well as bad
In hanging on to yesterday
I m not trying to replace him
Guess I m really trying to say

It s not Heaven but it s all we ve got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we re living in reality
But we re gonna have a happy ending--you and me

Together I know we ll survive
Rebuild our lives together
One day at a time

It s not Heaven but it s all we ve got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we re living in reality
But there s gonna be a happy ending
Wait and see
Yes there s gonna be a happy ending
For you and me
You better hurry for the old school bus
