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 call 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 call home
In heaven

I'll make room for you
If you stay, your eyes on me now
Lover you can lean on me
Love I can lift you higher

Oh 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
Oh it was almost heaven

Oh when we reach forever
Will there be a place where you and I may call home
In heaven
May call home in heaven
