Standard (EADGBE)

I walked with you and talked with you

And held your loving hand

We loved awhile and I lived awhile

And I thought that fate had it planned

Then someone stole my angel

And I lost what I loved most

I may never get to heaven,

But I once came mighty close

I may never play a golden harp

Or spread celestial wings

Or walk a golden staircase

While a distant chorus sings.

But once I held your sweet love

And felt your tender touch

I may never get to heaven,

But I didn't miss it much.

I may never get to heaven,

But I once came mighty close
