The ceremony was overA lad stood alone in tearsFor he had just said goodbyeTo the one he had loved through the years.He stood all alone with his head bowed downAs though his heart would breakThen the Parson came over and took his handAnd to him these words he did say.[Chorus]When God comes and gathers his jewelsAll his treasures of diamonds and goldYou'll meet her up there in heaven so fairWhen God comes and gathers his jewels.Each night when the pale moon is shiningYou can see this lad all aloneWith his eyes lifted to'ard heavenHe's repeating these words he was told.[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
