Beyond the Sunset
Should you go first and I remain,
to walk the road alone,
I値l live in memories garden, dear,
with happy days we致e known.
In spring I値l wait for roses red,
when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall,
I値l catch a glimpse of you.
I値l hear your voice, I値l see your
smile, tho blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
one thing I値l have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long
path, for soon I値l follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
So I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road,
you値l hear me call your name.
