HEAVEN'S JUST A SIN AWAY
(Jerry Gillespie / Charles-Andre Comeau / Pierre Bouvier 1977)

as recorded by Lynn Anderson


Heaven's just a sin away,
Woe-woe, just a sin away,
I can't wait another day,
I think I'm givin' in!

How I long to hold you tight,
Woe-woe, be with you tonight,
That still won't make it right,
'Cause I belong to him!

Way down deep inside,
I know that it's all wrong.
Your eyes keep tempting me,
But I never was that strong, oh-oh!

Devil's got me now,
Woe-woe, gone and got me now,
I can't fight him anyhow,
I think he's gonna win!

Heaven's just a sin away,
Woe-woe, just a sin away,
Heaven help me when I say
I think I'm givin' in!

Way down deep inside,
I know that it's all wrong.
Your eyes keep tempting me,
But I never was that strong, oh-oh!

Devil's got me now,
Woe-woe, gone and got me now,
I can't fight him anyhow,
I think he's gonna win!

Heaven's just a sin away,
Woe-woe, just a sin away,
Heaven help me when I say
I think I'm givin' in!

Heaven's just a sin away,
Woe-woe, just a sin away,
Heaven help me when I say
I think I'm givin' in!

How I love to hold you tight,
Woe=woe, be with you tonight!
That still won't make it right...
