Outside The Gates Of Heaven - Lou Christie

When the angels looked down, they saw you walk away

They knew you hurt me more & more each day

CHORUS:

So don’t leave me, leave me, leave me all alone

Leave me, leave me, leave me all alone

Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven

Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven

When the angels looked down, they knew my fate

They cried & cried & cried when you closed the gate

(chorus)

If you’d only say «Be my, be my baby»

I’d be right there by your side (inside, inside, inside)

Running home (running) to catch you

The gates will open up wide

(falsetto scat singing over backup «outside»)

Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven

Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven

(repeat & fade):

Outside, yes I’m outside, oh & all alone (heaven)
