Long ago my Mamma told me, if you're good you go to heaven
Heaven is a place you ought to see
Lightning flashes, but it won't harm you
Thunder rolls, but it won't scare you
And Angels sing in perfect harmony
I believed what Mamma told me, and I hoped I'd go to Heaven
I tried to be as good as I could be
Well, last night I saw the lightning, last night I felt the thunder
Last night when you brought paradise to me
So if I die and go to heaven, it won't be nothing new
'Cause I think that I saw heaven while I was making love to you
And if I ever walk the streets of Gold, I know my Mamma's words were true
But I wonder what she'd say if she knew I saw heaven here on Earth, while I was making love to you
Pearly gates last night were open, and I know I heard some angels
And everything was beautiful to me
But my momma's words grew weaker with everything you whispered
Your loving arms were as far as I could see
So if I die and go to heaven, it won't be nothing new
'Cause I think that I saw heaven while I was making love to you
And if I ever walk the streets of Gold, I know my Mamma's words were true
But I wonder what she'd say if she knew I saw heaven here on Earth, while I was making love to you
Come love me again (see the lightning, hear the thunder roll)
Come love me again (see the lightning, hear the thunder roll)
Come love me again (see the lightning, hear the thunder roll)
Oh, take me back to paradise, I want to feel it in my soul
So if I die and go to heaven, it won't be nothing new
'Cause I think that I saw heaven while I was making love to you
And if I ever walk the streets of Gold, I know my Mamma's words were true
But I wonder what she'd say if she knew I saw heaven
