Almost Heaven

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
 Choir singing in robes of white
 It was almost heaven
 Lovers laying side by side but
 When we reach forever
 Will there be a place where you and I may find 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
 Choir singing in robes of white
 It was almost heaven
 Lovers laying side by side but
 When we reach forever
 Will there be a place where you and I may find home?
 In heaven
 I'll make a room for you
 If you stay, you'll rise 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, oh
 And it was almost heaven (choir singing in robes of white)
 It was almost heaven (lovers laying side by side)
 Oh, when we reach forever
 Will there be a place where you and I may find home?
 In heaven
 Make our home in heaven
