Kitty Wells - I Dreamed I Searched Heaven For You lyrics

rate me

Vs 1

I dreamed I had gone to that city

That city where never comes night

And I saw the bright angels in glory

I saw the fair mansions of light

I gazed for long, long years of rapture

On the face of my Savior so true

And I sang with the seraphim holy

Then I dreamed I searched Heaven for you.

Chorus

I dreamed I searched Heaven for you

Searched vainly through Heaven for you

Oh won't you prepare to meet me up there?

Lest we should search Heaven for you.

Vs 2

I looked on both sides of the river

That flows through the city of God

I searched through bright mansions celestial

And streets of gold pavement I trod

The faces of saints by the million

I scanned in my yearning to see

That face I had cherished so fondly

The face that had grown dear to me.

Chorus

Vs 3

I asked of ten thousand sweet angels

Have you seen this beloved one, pray tell?

Have you met in the bright courts of Heaven

That one whom on earth we loved well?

They shook their heads sadly and told me

That they had not seen you, and then

I knew that somewhere in the darkness

You wandered, lost in your sin.
