Beyond The Sunset

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
