Got a date with an angel,
got to meet her at seven,
got a date witn an angel,
and i'm on my way to heaven.
she's so lovely beside me,
and whatever betide me.
got an angel to guide me.
so 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 beckon 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.
