Melodies of Love ‎#8

8. Sometime

1 This life is hard to understand,
The way is narrow and steep;
But God is on the mountain top,
So I'll just travel and weep.

Refrain:
Yes, sometime we'll meet again to part no more, nevermore,
Sometimes there will be no goodbye;
Not far away on heaven's shore,
No heartbreak will cause me to cry;
Again we'll be together to live and sin forever,
A song that's sweeter far than we know;
We'll understand ev'rything each mystery will be plain,
That causes heartache, heartache below.

2 There is a land as bright as day,
'Tis waiting not far ahead;
But I must lose this flesh and blood,
I look for death without dread. [Refrain]

3 My sorrow, then, is sweet to me,
If for Christ's sake on I go;
But when I lose a precious friend,
It causes teardrops to flow. [Refrain]
