Should You Go First
Should you go first and I remain
to walk the road alone
I'll live in memories garden dear
with happy days we've known
to walk the road alone
I'll live in memories garden dear
with happy days we've known
In spring I'll wait for roses red
when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of you
when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain
for battle to be fought.
Each thing you've touched along the way
will be a hallowed spot
for battle 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
though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope
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
one thing I'll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path
for soon I'll follow you
I want to know each step you take
so I may take the same
For someday down that lonely road
you'll hear me call your name
so I may take the same
For someday down that lonely road
you'll hear me call your name
