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?
