Just This Side Of Heaven Lyrics - Hal Ketchum

Just this side of Heaven there's a little white house 

Take a ride at the Pearly Gates, go 'bout a quarter mile south 

There's an angel sittin' on a front porch swing 

In a cotton gown waitin' on you gettin' in 

Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow 

Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo 

Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight 

Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven 

Just this side of Heaven, I was a lonely soul 

Till I found my salvation in the woman I hold 

I swear her love is spiritual 

Nothin' short of a miracle for me 

Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow 

Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo 

Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight 

Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven 

And her hair falls down like a gentle rain 

Makin' music, gonna tell her of callin' my name 

Hey, yeah 

Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow 

Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo 

Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight 

Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven 

Just this side of Heaven 

Just this side of Heaven
