TO BE WITH YOU

HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN,
HOW BAD THIS PAIN HAS GROWN.
OR IF IT COULD EVER BE THIS HARD.

ONLY IF LIKE BEFORE,
YOU HAD WALKED OUT THAT DOOR.
NOW, I KNOW THERE IS NO HEALING THIS HEART.

YES, YOU HAD TO GO THAT DAY,
OH, WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY.
NOW, YOU ARE PAST THOSE PEARLY GATES,
NOW, TO BE WITH YOU I MUST WAIT.

YES, EASY THEY SAY IT GETS,
BUT YOU KNOW I CAN'T FORGET.
EVERY GENTLE TOUCH, EVERY BRIGHT SMILE.

NOW, THEY SAY IT WILL BE ALRIGHT,
AND MY TEARS WILL QUIT FALLING AT NIGHT.
FOR I KNOW YOU WAIT FOR ME LOVING ME ALL THE WHILE.

YES, YOU HAD TO GO THAT DAY,
OH, WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY.
NOW, YOU ARE PAST THOSE PEARLY GATES,
NOW, TO BE WITH YOU I MUST WAIT.

LISTENING TO SONG AFTER SONG,
EACH REMINDING ME YOU ARE GONE.
BRINGING THAT FACT HOME TO ME.

NOW, THE STARS STILL SHINE IN THE NIGHT SKY ABOVE,
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE GONE, YOU STILL HAVE MY LOVE.
AND SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN EACH OTHER WE WILL SEE.

YES, YOU HAD TO GO THAT DAY,
OH, WHY COULDN'T YOU STAY.
NOW, YOU ARE PAST THOSE PEARLY GATES,
NOW, TO BE WITH YOU I MUST WAIT.

NOW, YOU ARE PAST THOSE PEARLY GATES,
NOW, TO BE WITH YOU I MUST WAIT.
