Beyond The Sunset

Should you go first and i remain, to walk the road alone
Ill live in memory's garden dear, with happy days we've known In spring i'll wait for roses red, when faith 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 ill see your smile
Though blindly i may grope
The memory of your helping hand, will buoy me on with hope
beyond the sunset oh blissful morning

When with our saviour, heaven is begun
Earths 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 ill have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon ill follow you in that fair homeland we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset for ever more
