Lyrics:

Should you go first and i remain, to walk the road alone Ill live in memory's garden dear, with happy days we've known In spring i'll wait for roses red, when faith the lilacs bloom And in early fall when brown leaves fall, 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 ill see your smile Though blindly i may grope The memory of your helping hand, will buoy me on with hope (c)beyond the sunset oh blissful (g)morning When with our saviour, heaven is be(c)gun Earths toiling ended, oh glorious (f)dawning Beyond the (c)sunset (g)when day is (c)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 ill have you do Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon ill follow you (c)in that fair homeland we'll know no (f)parting Beyond the (c)sunset (g)for ever (c)more
