Lyrics
When you get to heaven I'll be waiting
When you get to heaven I'll be there
Just inside the pearly gates darling that's where I'll wait
When you get to heaven I'll be there
If I should go first and have to leave you
To face this life alone with all its cares
Darling don't forget you'll find me waiting
To help you climb up heaven's golden stairs
When you get to heaven I'll be waiting
When you get to heaven I'll be there
Just inside the pearly gates darling that's where I'll wait
When you get to heaven I'll be there
Sometimes this old road gets rough and rocky
Sometimes you may wonder what's the use
But darling keep your chin up and keep smiling
'Cause inside heaven's door I'll wait for you
When you get to heaven I'll be waiting
When you get to heaven I'll be there
Just inside the pearly gates darling that's where I'll wait
When you get to heaven I'll be there
When you get to heaven I'll be there
