Just A Little While To Stay Here (instrumental) Lyrics - Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Soon this life will all be over 

And our pilgrimage will end 

Soon we'll take our heavenly journey 

Yeah, and be at home with friends again 

Heaven's gates are standing open 

Waiting for our entrance there 

Some sweet day we're going over 

And all the beauties there to share 

(That's why I'm saying )

Just a little while to stay here 

Just a little while to wait 

Just a little while to labor 

In the path that's always straight 

Oh, just a little more of sorrow 

In this low and sinful state 

Then we'll enter heaven's portals 

Sweeping through those pearly gates 

Just a little while to stay here 

Just a little while to wait, oh 

Just a little while to labor 

In the path that's always straight 

Photos 

Oh, just a little more of sorrow 

In this low and sinful state 

Then we'll enter heaven's portals 

Sweeping through the pearly gates
