I May Never Get to Heaven - Aretha Franklin

I walked with you and talked with you and held

Your lovin' hand

We loved a while and I lived a while 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 had 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
