Hal Ketchum - Just This Side of Heaven lyrics

(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.
