joe tex - i almost got to heaven once lyrics
[verse 1]
i almost got to heaven once
i came that close to gettin’ in
you’re the closest thing i’ve come to heaven since then, baby
so i’m gonna hold on to you
and do all that i can do
make sure that i keep my hold on you, oh baby
’cause i’ll never forgive myself
if i lost you to someone else, well
and you know that would be a big thing, baby
if i lost you, girl
and then never got to go to heaven again (woo!)
[chorus]
yah+hey!
goin’ to heaven, y’all, a+heh

(heaven) heaven, oh lord
i almost got to heaven
i had my wings, i had my wing, my wings of flight
heaven, oh lord
i almost got to heaven once
i had my golden slippers, y’all
