lyrics

Words and music by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon

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 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

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
May call home?
In heaven
