C                    G7
I walked with you and talked with you
      F          G7    C
And held your loving hand
     F                  C    Am
We loved awhile and I lived awhile
        D7                         G7
And I thought that fate had it planned
        C      G7       C
Then someone stole my angel
        F      G7        C
And I lost what I loved most
C7      F    G7     C   Am
I may never get to heaven,
        Dm         G7    C
But I once came mighty close


F       G7            C
I may never play a golden harp
      F      G7       C
Or spread celestial wings
C7   F      G7     C   Am
Or walk a golden staircase
           D7            G7
While a distant chorus sings.


      C      G7        C
But once I held your sweet love
C7            G7       C
And felt your tender touch
C7      F    G7     C  Am
I may never get to heaven,
       Dm        G7    C
But I didn't miss it much.


C7      F    G7     C  Am
I may never get to heaven,
        Dm         G7    C
But I once came mighty close
