Beyond the sunset, forevermore
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 lengthening 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 to know each step you take
So that I 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, forevermore
