 Little trip to Heaven, on the wings of your love,

 Banana moon is shining in the sky.

 Feel like I'm in Heaven, when you're with me,

 Know that I'm in Heaven when you smile.

Though we're stuck here on the ground,

I got something that I found and it's you.

And I don't have to take no trip to outer space,

All I have to do is look at your face.
       Dm7             G7             Cmaj7     C7
And be-fore I know it, I'm in orbit a-round you,
Dm7                F     E         Am
 Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you.
       Dm7              G7
When I see your constel-lation,

Honey, you're my inspi-ration and it's you.

You're my north star, when I'm lost and feeling blue.
    Cmaj7           Dm7
The sun is breaking through the clouds;
           Em7                 Ebm7
Don't you, don't you know it's true?
       Dm7           G7               Cmaj7     C7
Honey, all the other stars seem dim a-round you,

 Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you.
       Dm7              G7
When I see your smiling face, honey,
        Dm7                  G7
I know nothing ever going to take your place...

Excellent! Exactly the way I've been playing it for years. I just wish I could whistle so I could do justice to the solo. Now I have to either try to enhance my fingerpicking a little, play the kazoo or hum through the solo, but I think anyone listening probably prefers I do nothing except maybe play far away.

Excellent version! Try playing E7 rather than E, also a typo in the solo of D7 which should be Dm7.
