MY MOTHER
AND MY FATHER
WERE IN LOVE
FOR FIFTY YEARS
SO WHEN DAD DIED
WE WONDERED WHY
MY MOTHER SHED
NO TEARS
WE ASKED HER ONCE
ABOUT IT BUT
SHE WOULDN'T
TELL US WHY
INSTEAD
SHE'D WALK OUTSIDE
EACH NIGHT
AND SMILE
UP AT THE SKY
THEN JUST BEFORE
SHE LEFT US
SHE CALLED US
TO HER SIDE
SHE TOLD US
WHAT MY FATHER
SAID TO HER
JUST BEFORE HE DIED
I REMEMBER
WHEN YOU SAID YOU'D
NEVER LEAVE ME
THROUGH THESE
GOLDEN YEARS
I'VE KEPT
THE SAME VOW TOO
BUT NOW THAT I'M GOING
PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME
I'LL WALK JUST BEYOND
THE MOON
THEN I'LL STOP AND
WAIT FOR YOU
YOU CAN LOOK UP
EVERY NIGHT
AND YOU'LL SEE ME
LIGHT THE LIGHTS
WHERE I'LL WATCH
FOR YOU TO JOIN ME
SOME DAY SOON
WE'LL GO LOOKING
THROUGH THE STARS
FOR THE HEAVEN
THAT IS OURS
AND I KNOW
WE'LL FIND IT SOON
SOMEWHERE JUST
BEYOND THE MOON
6 BAR
BREAK
I'LL JUST SIT THERE
BY A STAR
AND I'LL WATCH YOU
FROM AFAR
TILL I SEE YOU WALKING
TOWARD ME
SOMEDAY SOON
THEN TOGETHER
HAND-IN-HAND
WE'LL FIND OUR
PROMISED LAND
AND WE'LL SETTLE DOWN
FOREVER
DARLING JUST BEYOND
THE MOON
