A policeman's whistle gayly, a smile upon his face. As he walked along the old familiar beat. He saw a little bay crying and thought his heart would break.
I'm begging to you and I want to go with you. You're breaking my heart as you say goodbye. I hope and I pray we'll soon be together. My heart is so full, it's hard not to cry.
I saw the light, I saw the light. No more darkness, no more night. Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. . I wandered so aimless I filled with sin.
The day's are so lonely the night are so long. Our home is a prison since you are gone. And I'll always wonder why our love didn't last. With no hope for tomorrow I'll live in the past.
I hear a voice calling. It must be our Lord (it must be our Lord). Its coming from heaven on high. I hear a voice calling. I've gained a reward (I've gained a reward).
Our little girl taken sick one evening. As she walked home from school. And in her death bed soon bring her. It made us so sad and so blue. . Then she called me close to her bedside.
While walkin' one day in the country. I saw a gatherin' crowd. And as my footsteps drew me closer. I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers. . It look like a family reunion.
Oh you said that you loved me that your heart would be true. But now you've gone and left me, I'm so blue. I believed in you darling that your heart would be true.
I am a pilgrim and a stranger. Traveling through this wearisome land. I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord. And it's not not made by hand. .
Every now and then, I forget about you. All the things you said, the things we used to do. Then the sun goes down and the night sets in. And in this lonely town your memory never ends.
All of my life I've heard stories told. Of a treasure more precious than silver and gold. I thought that I'd known love a time or two. 'Till I found a heart so loving and true.
Well, I wouldnt take nothing for my journey now. Gonna make it to Heaven somehow. Though the devil tempts me and he tried to turn me around. . Hes offered everything thats got a name.
Now I've had the time of my life. No, I never felt like this before. Yes I swear it's the truth. And I owe it all to you. . 'Cause I've had the time of my life.
I don't want you be no slave. I don't want you work all day. I don't want 'cause I'm sad and blue. I just want to make love to you, baby. Love to you, baby.
