i walked with you and talked with you and held your loving hand we loved awhile and i lived awhile 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 wile the distant chorus sings but once i held 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
