"Got a date with an angel
Got to meet her at seven
Got a date with an angel
And I'm on my way to heaven

No one else could be sweeter
Looks divine when I meet her
Feel as proud as Saint Peter
And I'm on my way to heaven

Soon I'll hear the bells ring out
And the choir will sing out
When the pearly gates swing out
She'll becon to me

I've been waiting a lifetime
For this evening at seven
Got a date with an angel
And I'm on my way to heaven"

My mother is always laughing when I'm listening Al Bowlly because I'm just 16 years old and I love this music.

I told the Lady I love about this song,. She's my lovely London Lady. I hope she tunes into it.

Superb song...why did 1931 have such joyful songs in the middle of Depression? Because of the joie de vivre of people like Al Bowlly.

Thanks for posting this recording and for clarifying exactly how he died. The Al Bowlly biography by Sid Colin and Tony Staveacre only mentions he was "unmarked but killed by the blast" after the Luftwaffe raid. Incidentally, the reason for his return to London after the appearance at the Rex at High Wycombe was a solo performance at the Berkeley Hotel before returning to his flat in Duke's Court, Jermyn Street.

My Dad was a Ball Turret Gunner on a B-17, when his crew was boarding the plane to go on a mission, their Radio Operator, George Bauer, would always sing this song.

All that brilliance, lost in a moment. Bloody Luftwaffe.

It's why our grandparents did what they did, and never forgot it. However we still have the magic of our dear old Al, and Fatty Hermann's Luftwaffe remains a hate object seventy five years later. Who won that little contest, I ask?

My boyfriend told me about this song ♥️

Edit:
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this Alexander. But I miss you. It’s been two weeks and I haven’t gotten over you. I don’t know if I ever will.

A month and I still haven’t.

I’ve moved on. It will feel like you won’t, but you will. It takes time.

Jack Nicholson kicks ass man ! "Wendy,Wendy,..Wendy". Wendy replies like a scared rabbit ";"Yes". Mr. Torrence begins by clearing his throat :"Wendy, your not goin' ANYWHERE "! GO check out the snow Cat and see there's no battery in the radio! Mr. Torrence repeats himself like a playful child"GO CHECK IT OUT, GO CHECK IT OUT, he then bangs the food room door and flickers his tongue like a snake preparing to laugh manically!!!

A song with this title was used in the movie Amelie (from 2001), but I'm not sure at what point in the film.

Ezekiel the Web Evangelist

Brothers and Sisters, as it is written in the Book of Psalms:
"Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?" (Psalms 56:1-4)

Brothers, could there ever be fear in your hearts of men so evil when we have Him who is called Almighty and Most High? Truly, it is better to fear Him instead. Why then do we fear Him who we love? Well, why do we fear in the first place? Fear envisions failure, regret, division, and treason that should it happen you would be worse off. That is why it is said that the fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom because who are we to say before God, "I failed." Or, "I shall do so and so during this time." When you can do it now when it would be more pleasing to God? Beloved, to further my point the fear of The LORD is also the trust of The LORD because when you fear you shall seek to live the life that He sees as most pleasing, you submit to Him because you know He is greatest, He is majesty and He is and always shall be so we trust in Him as well that the fear of Him will be placed into the hearts of those foolish enough to be enemies of Him. And there is One whom we place our trust in for the salvation that only comes by His Name, Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ who has come in the flesh to save those in the flesh from sin by the blood and suffering he endured and by His resurrection He rose from the dead to life everlasting as the first fruits of the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come, Amen. Brother, repent of sinfulness and be steadfast in faith to Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ for He is the resurrection of the dead, any man who believes, though he dies will live in Him.

-Ezekiel
