I walked with you and talked with you And held your loving hand We loved awhile and I lived awhile 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
