I pass your house with misty eyes
There stands the gate to paradise
But you don't hear the heart that cries
Outside of heaven

You're happy there with someone new
Good luck to him, good luck to you
I count the dreams that won't come true
Outside of heaven

On your wedding day I stood in the crowd
I could hardly keep from crying out loud
There goes the kiss my lips have known
There goes the love I called my own
Why was I meant to walk alone
Outside of heaven

(outside of heaven)

(outside of heaven)

On your wedding day I stood in the crowd
I could hardly keep from crying out loud
There goes the kiss my lips have known
There goes the love I called my own
Why was I meant to walk alone
Outside of heaven
