Lyrics Beyond The Sunset - Single Version - Hank Williams

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 wait for roses red, when fades the lilacs blue
And in early fall when brown leaves call, I'll catch a glimpse of you

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
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope

Beyond the sunset, oh blissful morning
When with our savior, heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended, oh glory dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done

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

I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name
Should you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I'll follow you

In that fair homeland, we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forevermore
