Beyond The Sunset

Should you go first and I remain

To walk the road alone

I'll live in memory's garden, dear

When 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 road

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

I'll hear you calling my 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...
