Just This Side Of Heaven - Hal Ketchum

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.
