Lyrics Dreamed I Searched Heaven for You - Bill Monroe

I dreamed I had gone to that city
That city where never comes night
And I saw the bright angels in glory
I saw of their mansions of light

I gazed for long long years of rapture
On the face of my Savior so true
And I sang with the servants in holy
Then I dreamed I searched Heaven for you

I dreamed I searched Heaven for you (for you)
Searched vainly through Heaven for you (for you)
Friend won't you prepare to meet me up there
Lest we should search Heaven for you

I looked on both sides of the river
That flows through the city of God
I searched through bright mansions celestial
And streets of gold pavement I trod

The faces of saints by the millions
I scanned in my yearning to see
That face I had cherished so fondly
The face that had grown dear to me

I dreamed I searched Heaven for you (for you)
Searched vainly through Heaven for you (for you)
Friend won't you prepare to meet me up there
Lest we should search Heaven for you

I asked all ten thousand sweet angels
Have you seen this beloved one, praying tell?
Have you met in the bright court of Heaven
That one whom on earth we loved well?
They shook their heads sadly and told me
That they had not seen you, and then
I knew somewhere in that darkness
You had wandered lost, lost in sin

I dreamed I searched Heaven for you (for you)
Searched vainly through Heaven for you (for you)
Friend won't you prepare to meet me up there
Lest we should search Heaven for you
