Heaven's Gate-Toni Childs

 

a man I met in my youth  came  to me in the light of truth
a beautiful dream that was   till he died one rainy fall
there I was a child bride   widowed at ninteen, defied
never would I let him go   go to the place that heaven knows

on 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 rest
he came to me and held me close   we danced til dawn in the early snow
there I felt him cry and cry   "I'll never leave, leave your side"

oh the madness   this town thinks I'm mad
sixty years, has it been a dream   this man I'm haunted by, I see
I'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 me"
now 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
