One Look at Heaven

by Stonewall Jackson

F                       C

You were my one look at heaven 

      G7                         C

I was closer than I've ever been before

F                       C

You were my one look at heaven 

        G7                       C

But you left me just outside the door

            G7                C

Around your head there was no halo 

          G7                C

Upon your shoulders were no wings

       F                      C

But to me you'll always be an angel 

    G7                             C

For that's the way I see you in my dreams

repeat #1

               G7              C

This earth was never meant for paradise 

             G7              C

And you were never meant for me

    F                       C

But you gave me one look at heaven 

     G7                        C

That no one can take away from me

repeat #1
