I walked with you and talked with you and held your loving hand
   We loved awhile I lived awhile and 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 celestian wings
   Or walk a golden staircase while the distant chorus sings
   Oh but I once 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 didn't miss it much
