Saint Peter’s Dilemma
Words and Music by Richard F. Howard
© 5/13/2013

(V1)
Heaven must be missing an angel, because she’s dancing right here with me
Someone must have opened up the Pearly Gates and left them unattended; she got free
Now I’m standing here thinking as a matter of fact I can pretty much guarantee
Heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here with me

Now old Saint Peter must be pulling his beard trying to figure out what went wrong
He left the gate open and she ran away. We’ve been dancing all night long
So Saint Peter’s dilemma is a blessing of mine, I can pretty much guarantee
Heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here with me

<Musical Interlude>

(V2)
Heaven must be missing an angel; she’s as pretty as she can be
Her lips are red like a cherry pie; her eyes are the color of the deep blue sea
Now I’m standing here thinking as a matter of fact I can pretty much guarantee
Heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here with me

Now old Saint Peter must be scratching his head trying to figure out what to do
But she’s with me so heaven can wait. I’m in love and she is too
So Saint Peter’s dilemma is a blessing of mine, I can pretty much guarantee
Heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here with me

(Bridge)
Poor old Saint Peter what can he do?
She wants to dance the whole night through

(V3)
Heaven must be missing an angel because an angel is what I found
There ain’t no halo up above her head and her wings fell off when she hit the ground
But I’m standing here thinking as a matter of fact I can pretty much guarantee
Heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here with me

(Outro)
Yeah heaven must be missing an angel because she’s dancing right here
She’s not up there
She’s dancing right here with me
