Every night at seven
If I'm not in heaven
Then thank my lucky star
I'm not very far
I can always wander
To someone up yonder
That's just as sweet as angels are
Just halfway to heaven
You'll find a cottage small
Halfway to heaven
Beside a garden wall
Where butterflies are flirtin'
Out in the sun
Behind a kitchen curtain
Someone's cookin' while she's lookin'
Out of the window
To hear that old refrain
I whistle as I walk down the lane
Then she meets me halfway
Halfway up that pathway
That's halfway to heaven and you
Say, just halfway to heaven
You'll find a cottage small
Just halfway to heaven
Beside a garden wall
Where butterflies are flirtin'
Out in the sun
Behind a kitchen curtain
Someone's cookin' while she's lookin'
Out of the window
To hear that old refrain
I whistle every time that I walk down the lane
Then she meets me halfway
Halfway up that pathway
That's halfway to heaven and you
