Close By Lyrics - Brothers Of The Highway - Dailey And Vincent

You've gone so far away my darlin' 

Each time I think of you I cry 

I press your picture to my bosom 

Then I feel that you're close by 

Years have passed, you've not returned dear 

Now they say that you have died 

But your soul will live forever 

Now I know you'll be close by 

I saw you last while you were leaving 

The tears from you I try to hide 

You took me in your arms and said dear 

Your memory I'll keep close by 

They buried you in a lonely graveyard 

And a spot they left beside 

There we'll sleep 'til Jesus calls us 

So that we can be close by
