Oh, to have you walking so near
You're an angel, my dear
And you ease my mind
I'll not kiss or hold you, my dear
Would you let me just follow behind

Now, I have loved me many fine men
Oh, so many fine men
Had a bed to share
I would trade these lovers gladly, my friend
For a glimpse of you standing there

How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen it before

If I never, never, never, never see you again
Though the path it may bend
And be filled with strife;
Though the years may come and go without end
I will think of you all of my life

How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen heaven before

Oh, to have you walking so near
You're an angel, my dear
And you ease my mind
I'll not kiss and hold you, my dear
Would you let me just follow behind?
Hmm, hmmmm. Mm hmmm, mm hmmm
Would you let me just follow behind?
