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
