Almost Heaven - Isak Danielson

There’s an angel in a 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

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

Choirs 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

Say 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)

It was almost heaven

(Lovers laying side by side but)

Oh, when we reach forever

Will there be a place where you and I may find home?

In heaven

Make our home in heaven
