One Look At Heaven

by Stonewall Jackson

on The Sadness In a Song (1962), The Essential Stonewall Jackson (2019), The Very Best of Stonewall Jackson (2012)

You were my one look at heaven
I was closer than I've ever been before
You were my one look at heaven
But you left me just outside the door

Around your head there was no halo
Upon your shoulders were no wings
But to me you'll always be an angel
For that's the way I see you in my dreams

You were my one look at heaven
I was closer than I've ever been before
You were my one look at heaven
But you left me just outside the door

This earth was never meant for paradise
And you were never meant for me
But you gave me one look at heaven
That no one can take away from me

You were my one look at heaven
I was closer than I've ever been before
You were my one look at heaven
But you left me just outside the door
