Heaven's Gate Lyrics


A man I met in my youth
Came to me in the light of truth
Beautiful dream that was
Till he died one rainy fallThere I was a child bride
Widowed at nineteen, defied
Never would I let him go
Go to the place that Heaven knowsOn the evening of his death
My shoulders felt a brushing breath
Cold were his hands on my breast
The man that I loved and put to restHe came to me and held me close
We danced till dawn in the early snow
There I felt him cry and cry
I'll never leave, leave your sideOh, the madness
This town thinks I'm mad
Sixty years, has it been a dream?
This man I'm haunted by, I seeI'm eighty years and on my bed
Awaiting death, that final breath
He sits by and looks to me

Soon you will come and be with meNow, I feel all warm inside
As I leave this mortal body behind
Seems it is eternal's way
We're waltzing into Heaven's gate

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
