(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
