HANK WILLIAMS - Beyond The Sunset - - Hank Williams lyrics

rate me

Should you go first and I remainto walk the road alone

Ill live in memory's garden dearwith happy days we've known

In spring I'll wait for roses redwhen 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 remainfor battles to be fought

Each thing you've touched along the waywill be a hallowed spot

I'll hear your voice ill see your smile

Though blindly I may grope

The memory of your helping handwill buoy me on with hope

(c)beyond the sunset oh blissful (g)morning

When with our saviourheaven is be(c)gun

Earths toiling endedoh glorious (f)dawning

Beyond the (c)sunset (g)when day is (c)done

Should you go first and I remainto finish with the scroll

No lessening shadows shall ever creep in

To make this life seem droll

We've known so much of happinesswe've had our cup of joy

And memory is one gift of godthat death cannot destroy

I want to know each step you takethat I may walk the same

For someday down that lonely roadyou'll hear me call your name

Should you go first and I remainone thing ill have you do

Walk slowly down that long long pathfor soon ill follow you

(c)in that fair homeland we'll know no (f)parting

Beyond the (c)sunset (g)for ever (c)more
