If We Never Meet Again Lyrics - Merle Haggard

If we never meet again, this side of heaven 

As we struggle through this world and it's strife 

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven 

By the side of the river of life 

Where the charmin' roses bloom forever 

And where separations come no more 

If we never meet again this side of heaven 

I will meet you on the beautiful shore 

Soon, we'll come to the end of life's journey 

And perhaps, we'll never meet anymore 

'Til we gather in heaven's bright city 

Far away on that beautiful shore 

Where the charmin' roses bloom forever 

And where separations come no more 

If we never meet again this side of heaven 

I will meet you on that beautiful shore 

(I will meet you on that beautiful shore) 

Soon, we'll come to the end of life's journey 

And perhaps, we'll never meet anymore 

'Til we gather in heaven's bright city 

Far away on that beautiful shore 

If we never meet again this side of heaven 

As we struggle through this world and its strife 

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven 

By the side of the river of life 

Where the charming roses bloom forever 

And where separation comes no more 

If we never meet again this side of heaven 

I will meet you on that beautiful shore 

Oh, they say, we shall meet by the river 

Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky 

And they say, we'll be happy in heaven 

In the wonderful sweet by and by 

If we never meet again 

(If we never meet again this side of heaven) 

I will meet you on that beautiful shore 

(Beautiful beautiful shore)
