Outside The Gates Of Heaven Lyrics

Where is heaven? (In your heart)  

 (falsetto scat singing)  

 Outside, outside, outside, outside

 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

 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
