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 Choirs singing in robes of white 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 Choirs singing in robes of white 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, your eyes 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 (Choirs singing in robes of white) Oh, 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
