Aaron Copland - Why Do They Shut Me Out of Heaven? lyrics

Why — do they shut Me out of Heaven? Did I sing — too loud? But — I can say a little “minor” Timid as a Bird! Wouldn't the Angels try me — Just — once — more — Just — see — if I troubled them — But don't — shut the door! Don't — shut the door! Oh, if I — were the Gentleman In the “White Rose” — And they — were the little Hand — that knocked — Could — I — forbid? Could — I — forbid? Could — I — forbid? Why — do they shut Me out of Heaven? Did I sing — too loud?
