Almost Heaven

There's an angel in the window On a West Virginia church door swinging open And he's pointing to the exit sign Said, "You'll never walk on water If you wait until the river's frozen over In the Shenandoah summer" Well, it was almost heaven Choir singing in robes of white It was almost heaven Lovers laying side by side but When we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? So I keep a candle burning And I pray to see that Saint I knew for certain But it's just my own reflection now And that silhouette in the window Is the shape of someone I don't quite remember Dancing in the fire Well, it was almost heaven Choir singing in robes of white It was almost heaven Lovers laying side by side but When we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? In heaven I'll make a room for you If you stay, you'll rise on me now Lover, you can lean on me Love, I can lift you higher Said, I'm making a room for you Will you keep your eyes on me now? Lover, lean on me Love, I can lift you higher Oh, I can lift you higher, oh And it was almost heaven (choir singing in robes of white) It was almost heaven (lovers laying side by side) Oh, when we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? In heaven Make our home in heaven
