I May Never Get to Heaven

(Bill Anderson - Buddy Killen)



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 a distant chorus sings.



But once, I had 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...
