(Hal-Lelujah) |
|
Just this side of Heaven there's a little white house. |
|
Take a ride at the Pearly Gates: go 'bout a quarter mile south. |
|
There's an Angel sittin' on a front porch swing. |
|
In a cotton gown waitin' on you gettin' in. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo. |
|
Gonna take her in my arms an' hold her tight, |
|
Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven. |
|
Just this side of Heaven, I was a lonely soul. |
|
Till I found my salvation in the woman I hold. |
|
I swear her love is spiritual: |
|
Nothin' short of a miracle for me. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo. |
|
Gonna take her in my arms an' hold her tight, |
|
Love her like a devil an' spend all night just this side of Heaven. |
|
And her hair falls down like a gentle rain, |
|
Makin' music, gonna tell her, of callin' my name. |
|
Hey, yeah. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow. |
|
Hallejulah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo. |
|
Gonna take her in my arms an' hold her tight. |
|
Love her like a devil an' spend all night just this side of Heaven. |
|
Just this side of Heaven. |
|
Just this side of Heaven. |
