As recorded by WANDA JACKSON:

(Heaven, Heaven)

I walked with you and talked with you
And held your lovin' hand
We loved a while, I lived a while
And thought that fate had a plan

Oh, but 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 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


++++++++++


As recorded by NARVEL FELTS:

I walked with you and talked with you
And held your lovin' hand
We loved a while, I lived a while
And I thought that fate had it planned

Oh, 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

Oh, but once I had your sweet love
And I felt your lovin' 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

As recorded by CONWAY TWITTY:


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 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
