Outside The Gates Of Heaven
                       "Lou Christie"
               Peak Position;#45 in 1966

Where is heaven?...(I-I-n your heart)
(falsetto scat singing)
Outside, outside, outside, outside

When the angels looked down, they saw you walk away
They knew you hurt me more and more each day

CHORUS:
So tell me me...(me), me...(me), me all alone
me...(me), me...(me), me, all alone
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside...(Whoh) the gates of heaven
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside...(Whoh) the gates of heaven

When the angels looked down, they knew my fate
They cried and cried and cried when you closed the gate

(chorus)

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...(Whoh) the gates of heaven
Outsi yi yi yi yi yi yide, outside...(Whoh) the gates of heaven

(repeat fading out):
Outside, yes I'm outside, oh and all alone...(heaven)
