Lyrics I May Never Get to Heaven - Aretha Franklin

I May Never Get to Heaven

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
