I DON'T HAVE TO DIE TO GET INTO HEAVEN
(Tommy Rocco / Gene Dobbins / Tim Daniels)


Jeannie C. Riley - 1981


I don't have to die to get into Heaven
I just close my eyes and I hear angels sing
I don't have to die to get into Heaven
But just like a dove I fly with your love and I don't need wings

Well I've seen the beauty of when you come to me
And I know you're after the love in my heart
Each day I'm blessed with your warm tenderness
That's what keeps me from comin' apart

Well I wake with you to the sounds of the mornin'
Fillin' my senses with all of your love
The good life you give me sometimes makes me wonder
If I'm not already in Heaven above

And I don't have to die to get into Heaven
I just close my eyes and I hear angels sing
No, I don't have to die to get into Heaven
But just like a dove I fly with your love and I don't need wings

I don't have to die to get into Heaven
I just close my eyes and I hear angels sing
I don't have to die to get into Heaven
But just like a dove I fly with your love and I don't need wings

No, I don't have to die to get into Heaven
I just close my eyes and I hear angels sing
I don't have to die to get into Heaven
But just like a dove..........FADE
