Analysis of Heaven and Hell



Of all the men I've ever met,
you're the one I won't forget.

And if I die before you do,
I'll go to Heaven to wait for you.

If you're not there on Judgement Day,
I'll know you went the other way.

I'll give the angels back their wings,
and risk the loss of everything.

Just to prove my love is true,
I'll go to hell to be with you.
