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 d**h 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...
