Bill Anderson - Beyond The Sunset lyrics

rate me

(Beyond the sunset for evermore)

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone

I'll live in memory's garden dear with happy days we've known

In spring I'll watch for roses red and shades of lilac blue

In early fall when the brown leaves fall then I'll catch a glimpse of you

Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll

No lenghtening shadows shall creep in to make this life seem droll

We've known so much of happiness yes we've had our cup of joy

And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy

Should you go first and I remain there's one thing I'd have you do

Walk slowly down that long path for soon I'll follow you

I want you to know each step I take so that you may walk the same

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

Beyond the sunset oh glad reunion with our dear loved ones who've gone before

In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore
