Standard (EADGBE)

 I walked with you and talked with you

 And held your loving hand

 We loved awhile and I lived awhile

 And I thought that fate had it planned

 Then someone stole my angel

 And I lost what I loved most

 I may never get to heaven,

 But I once came mighty close

 I may never play a golden harp

 Or spread celestial wings

 Or walk a golden staircase

 While a distant chorus sings.

 But once I held your sweet love

 And felt your tender touch

 I may never get to heaven,

 But I didn't miss it much.

 I may never get to heaven,

 But I once came mighty close
