| 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. |
