Lyrics
Never Get to Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mother told me always to follow their golden rule
and she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
so remember, if you're untrue
the angels up in heaven will be lookin' at you
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
so be very careful not to make a spark
you won't get to heaven if you
break my heart - oh no
I've been hearing rumors about how you played around
though I don't believe what I hear still it gets me down
if you ever should say good-bye
it would be so awful, the angels would cry
[ref.]
I can hardly wait for the day when we say "I do"
it's the day I dreamed of so long now it's coming true
you will promise to cherish me
if you break you promise the angels will see
[ref.]
never get to heaven
