When You Get To Heaven
The Mavericks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find another woman like you
I must surrender to what's probable
And realize for now we're through
At night guitars will softly play for us
While angels beckon us to pray
In Heaven this is undeniable
At night guitars would softly play for us
While angels beckon us to pray
In Heaven this, oh, is undeniable
We'll be together one fine day
A time I'm finding just impossible
Try and carry on this way
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven
Call me, oh, when you get to Heaven
So that we, so that we, so that we can be together
Oh, call me, call me, call me
When you get, when you get, when you get, when you get
When you get to Heaven
So that we, so that we, so that we can meet again
Oh, yeah, baby, won't you call me, call me, call me, call me
(Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you)
When you get, when you get, when you get, when you get
(Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you) when you get to Heaven
So that we, so that we, so that we, so that we can meet again
(Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (call me, call me, oh, when you get, when you get)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (so that we, so that we, so that we can meet again)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (call me)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (so we can be, so we can be, so we can be)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (so we can be together, baby)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (oh, won't you call me)
Call me when you get to Heaven, won't you (oh, won't you call me, won't you call me)
