SWEET BY AND BY

~1~
We're alive and well my dear.
Though we were kicking and
screaming,
Don't you dare leave us here like
this.
But I guess this, this is all that
there is.
Looking up at the sky, wondering
just how high

Chorus:
In the Sweet By and By, darlin' you
live on.
Long after you're gone.
It's a long lonely life, without you
by my side.
So, I'll see you in the sweet by and
by

~2~
With each breath we carry on
each time.
I've got something to tell you, oh
it's the best news.
But each day another mark away
from you.
With my feet on the ground, I feel
the earth moving 'round.

~3~
I am standing on the ledge my
dear,
Throwing my prayers, out into the
air.
Can you hear them now?
Now that I found out.
I never wanted to know, how to let
you go.
