Should you go first and I remain, to walk the road aloneI'll live in memory's garden dear, with happy days we've knownIn spring I'll wait for roses red, when faith the lilacs bloomAnd in early fall when brown leaves fall,I'll catch a glimpse of youShould you go first and I remain, for battles to be foughtEach thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spotI'll hear your voice I'll see your smileThough blindly I may gropeThe memory of your helping hand, will buy me on with hopeBeyond the sunset oh blissful morningWhen with our saviour, heaven is begunEarths toiling ended, oh glorious dawningBeyond the sunset when day is doneShould you go first and I remain, to finish with the scrollNo lessening shadows shall ever creep inTo make this life seem drollWe've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joyAnd memory is one gift of God, that death cannot destroyI want to know each step you take, that I may walk the sameFor someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your nameShould you go first and I remain, one thing I'll have you doWalk slowly down that long long path, for soon I'll follow youIn that fair homeland we'll know no partingBeyond the sunset for ever more Aus Songtexte Mania
