You'll Never Get To Heaven
Burt Bacharach & Friends Lyrics

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
My mother advised me to behave well and treat others as I would like to be treated.

And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
My mom told me that being unkind and cruel is morally wrong.

So remember if you're untrue
If you are dishonest or unfaithful,

Angels up in heaven are looking at you
angels in heaven will notice and disapprove of your actions.

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
If you hurt me emotionally or end our relationship, you'll never reach paradise.

So be very careful not to make us part
Therefore, be cautious and not separate from me

Oh no

I've been hearing rumors about how you play around
People have been gossiping about your infidelity

Though I don't believe what I hear, still it gets me down
Even though I don't trust these rumors, they still upset me.

If you ever should say goodbye
If you decide to leave me and end our relationship,

It will be so awful, the angels would cry
It will be so devastating that even celestial beings would weep.

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
I eagerly anticipate the day when we get married.

It's a day I've dreamed of so long now it's comin' true
This is a long-awaited, dream come true moment for me.

You will promise to cherish me
You will pledge to value, care for, and treat me well.

If you break your promise the angels will see
If you break your vow, it will not go unnoticed by the angels

Never get to heaven if you break my heart (if you break my heart)
You will never reach paradise if you hurt me emotionally or end our relationship.
