Lou Christie — Outside the Gates of Heaven lyrics

Lyrics

When the angels looked down, they saw you walk away
They knew you hurt me more & more each day
So don’t leave me, leave me, leave me all alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me all alone
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven
When the angels looked down, they knew my fate
They cried & cried & cried when you closed the gate
If you’d only say «Be my, be my baby»
I’d be right there by your side (inside, inside, inside)
Running home (running) to catch you
The gates will open up wide
(falsetto scat singing over backup «outside»)
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside the gates of heaven
(repeat & fade):
Outside, yes I’m outside, oh & all alone (heaven)
