Beyond The Sunset Songtext
von The Cathedrals

Should you go first, and I remain to walk the road alone
I′ll live in memory's garden, dear, with happy days we′ve known
In spring, I'll watch for roses red when fades the lilac blue
And in early fall when brown leaves call, I'll, I′ll catch a glimpse of you

And should you go first, and I remain to finish with this scroll?
No lengthening shadows shall creep in to make this life seem droll
We′ve known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy
But memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy


Should you go first, and I remain for battles to be fought?
Each thing you′ve touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
Oh, I'll, I′ll see your face, I'll hear your voice and low blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope

Then finally, should you go first and I remain? One thing I′d have you do
Walk slowly down that long, long path, for soon I'll follow you
And I'd want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that long lone path, you′ll hear me call your name

Beyond the sunset, o glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who′ve gone before
In that fair homeland, we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forevermore
