I Almost Got To Heaven Once

[Verse 1]
I almost got to heaven once
I came that close to gettin' in
You're the closest thing I've come to heaven since then, baby
So I'm gonna hold on to you
And do all that I can do
Make sure that I keep my hold on you, oh baby
'Cause I'll never forgive myself
If I lost you to someone else, well
And you know that would be a big thing, baby
If I lost you, girl
And then never got to go to heaven again (Woo!)

[Chorus]
Yah-hey!
Goin' to heaven, y'all, a-heh
Come on, a-heh
(Heaven) Heaven, oh Lord
I almost got to heaven
I had my wings, I had my wing, my wings of flight
Heaven, oh Lord
I almost got to heaven once
I had my golden slippers, y'all
Heaven, yeah
I almost got to heaven once
I had my milk and a-honey, y'all
Heaven, oh Lord
I almost got to heaven
Listen to this right here, heh

[Verse 2]
Heaven is really a state of mind
(Heaven is really a state of mind)
With you I go there all the time
(You I go there all the time)
Peace with you is what I found
(Peace with you is what I found)
And I'd like to stay here in heaven with you all the time
(Do-do-do, do-do-do) Oh Lord, girl
(Do-do-do, do-do-do) Hey!
(Woo!) Good God, say that again, uh!

[Chorus]
On your way out, a-heh, hey!
Heaven, Lord have mercy
I came that close to gettin' in
Yes I did, I walked right up to gate
Heaven, oh Lord, uh!
I came that close to gettin' in
Yes I did, yes I did
Heaven, oh Lord, y'all, uh!
(I came) That close to gettin' in
I walked right up to the gate then, oh Lord
(Heaven) Well-well
(I came) That close to gettin' in
I almost, I almost got to
Heaven, yes Lord
(I came) That close to gettin' in
I almost, I almost got to
Heaven, well-well
(I came) That close to gettin' in
Yes I did, yes I did
Heaven, oh Lord
(I came) That close to gettin' in
Woo, woo!
Heaven, say it again, say it again (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Outro]
(I came that close to gettin' in) Ah
Well-well, well-well
Heaven, Lord (Ooh-hoo-hoo, yeah)
Yeah (I came that close to gettin' in)
Hey, got right up to the gate, y'all
(Heaven) Yes I did, hey!
(I came that close to gettin' in)
Now shout "Hallelujah"!
Heaven, Lord (Ooh-hoo-hoo, yeah)
(I came that close) To gettin' in
Yes I did, yes I did
Heaven
