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
