sweethearts in heaven

if the angels have sweethearts

then i want you for mine

i'd be a tramp and sleep in the street

or i'd be a beggar with rags on my feet. if i knew for sure

when the time comes to part

someday in heaven

you'd be my sweetheart. will there be sweethearts in heaven

after we've crossed the line

if the angels have sweethearts

then i want you for mine. (if i should go first and leave you behind

to face life alone bear this in mind

i'll be a waitin'

if heaven's my fate

to take you by the hand

just inside the pearly gates.)

will there be sweethearts in heaven

after we've crossed the line

if the angels have sweethearts

then i want you for mine.
