If I go to heaven

Anne · 05 Feb 2001, 20:57

I F I GO TO HEAVEN & YOUR NOT THERE ,
I'LL PAINT YOUR FACE UPON THE STAIRS.

So all the angels can look & see just how much you mean to me ,and if you're not their by judgement day, I'll know you've gone the other way.

So I'll give the angels back their wings & golden harps & other things & just
to prove what I'll do, I'll even go to hell for you ..... .

Wow!
I've very impressed Anne!!! Did you write that or is it a quote? Either way its very touching!!
Love it Anne! I'm gonna have a go now! Quoting from one of my (forever in production) songs.

"Her eyes are red from all the tears,
And Her Voice Can Hardly Speak,
All I Ask Is For You To Show Her Someone
Who Matches Who She Seeks.

Its So Hard To Dream The Dreams She Dreampt She Dreamed A Year Ago
When The Fantasies She Fantasied Were Realised As Cold As Snow

But Unlike Snow, It Was Darkly Black More Than I'll Ever See,
But Not Nearly As Magical As She'd Percieved Them Once To Be"

Anne

So did I, she was very cool and she helped make sure I wasn't too alone when I've been to a good number of Meaty & Rocky Horror events.

What an earth did you search for to find this btw?

I still have those lyrics in a similar structure to that too, only minor adaptations and they are part of an actual song now - yet I guess unrecorded with no scripted sheet music rarely classes as an "actual song".

Still, Anne's lyrics are better I think.

p.s. I know I've dug it up again, I was looking for one of R's posts and stumbled across a thread started by an "Anne", checking it I found it was the one I knew :) ).

Does anyone actually know the origin of the poem?

Chris · 13 Jul 2005, 10:00

Not sure of the origin of it.

There are several versions floating around in the ether on the google archives, most of which go back to the same sort of time period. It appears to be one of those emails that gets sent round everyone with no discernable start point that sort of merges into the web's background.

Most of the versions tend to be slightly edited:

"if i go to heaven and you're not there
I'll sit and wait upon the golden stairs"

"if I go to heaven before you do
I'll sit and wait for you"

"If i go to heaven and you're not there
I'll paint your face on the golden stars."

I doubt anyone will ever trrace it's provenance - too many versions floating around and people claiming credit for it.

Lauren · 13 Jul 2005, 11:21

When i die and go up there
I'll paint your face on the golden stair
So all the angels there can see
What you my darling mean to me
If you're not there by judgement day
I'll know you've gone the other way
I'll give the angels back their wings
Their golden harps and other things
And just to prove my love is true
I'd even go to hell for you

This is the version we used to write in valentines cards at school in the early 90's!!!

ps. is it really sad that i remebered that? lol

~Helen~ · 16 Dec 2008, 22:42

**allrevvedup** · 16 Dec 2008, 23:02

Sometimes we have to kiss/kick the past goodbye

~Helen~ · 16 Dec 2008, 23:08

anne's post is beautiful...but the rest of the past i will gladly kick...

mszee · 17 Dec 2008, 06:18

I've spent a lot of time
So this is never seen
Annoying people is an art -
I've learned my lesson well -
That if I follow him again
I will end up in hell...
