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...
