"Doorstep To Heaven" lyrics

I met her, fell in love and we parted
The same old story that a million tongues could tell
'Cause she turned out to be jealous-hearted
And life for me and her became a living hell

Now I'm standing on the doorstep to heaven
'Cause she's asking me to try once again
One step would take me into the arms of my sweet darling
But the door of jealousy won't let me in

Back in her past, somewhere someone sure must have hurt her
'Cause she couldn't even trust me out of sight
She thought I lived to find excuses to desert her
It got to where I couldn't even sleep at night

Oh yes, I tried, oh, how I tried to prove I loved her
But the eyes of jealous love are always blind
And so I knew that if I stayed around much longer
That one or both of us were sure to lose our mind

So now I'm standing on the doorstep to heaven
'Cause she's asking me to try once again
One step would take me into the arms of my sweet darling
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
