Beyond the Sunset

歌詞

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone I'll live in mem'ry's garden dear with happy days we've known In spring I'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs bloom And in early fall when brown leaves fall I'll catch a glimpse of you Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope The mem'ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven is begun Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll No lessening shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll We've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name Should you go first and I remain one thing I'll have you do Walk slowly down that long long path for soon I'll follow you In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore
