Mother told me always to follow the golden rule And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel So, remember, if you're untrue Angels up in heaven are looking at you [Chorus] You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart So be very careful not to make us part You won't get to heaven if you break my heart I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around Though I don't believe what I hear, still, it gets me down If you ever should say goodbye I'd feel so awful the angels would cry [Chorus] (If you break my heart, if you break my heart) I can hardly wait for the day when we say, 'I do' It's a day I dreamed of so long now, comin' true You will promise to cherish me If you break your promise, the angels will see [Chorus]
