I walked with you and talked with you and held
your lovin' hand
We loved a while and I lived a while and I
thought that fate had it planned
Then someone stole my angel and I lost what
I loved most
I may never get to heaven but I once
came mighty close

I may never play a golden harp or spread
celestial wings
Or walk a golden staircase while a distant
chorus sings
But once I had your sweet love and felt
your tender touch
I may never get to heaven but I
didn't miss it much

I may never get to heaven but I once
came mighty close
