Should you go first and I remainTo walk the road aloneI’ll live in memory’s garden, dearWhen happy days we’ve known.In spring I’ll watch for roses redAnd shades of lilac blueIn early fall when the brown leaves fallThen I’ll catch a glimpse of you.Should you go first and I remainTo finish with the scrollNo lenghtening shadows shall creep inTo make this life seem droll.We’ve known so much of happinessYes, we’ve had our cup of joyAnd memory is one gift of GodThat death cannot destroy.Should you go first and I remainThere’s one thing I’d have you doWalk slowly down that long roadFor soon I’ll follow you.I want you to know each step I takeSo that you may walk the sameFor someday down that lonely roadI’ll hear you calling my name.Beyond the sunset, oh glad reunionWith our dear loved ones who’ve gone beforeIn that fair homeland we’ll know no partingBeyond the sunset for evermore…
