When you get to heaven, I'll be waiting When you get to heaven, I'll be there Just inside the pearly gates darling, that's where I'll wait When you get to heaven, I'll be there. --- Instrumental --- Sometimes this old road gets rough and rocky And sometimes you may wonder what's the use But darling, keep your chin up and keep smiling 'Cause inside heaven's door, I'll wait for you. When you get to heaven, I'll be waiting When you get to heaven, I'll be there Just inside the pearly gates darling, that's where I'll wait When you get to heaven, I'll be there. When you get to heaven, I'll be there...
