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
 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 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
 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 find 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, oh
 And it was almost heaven
 (Choirs singing in robes of white)
 Oh, 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
