Now as I sigh the hours away

I think of love of yesterday

Now I know she's gone away

She's in heaven so they say



Will the angels tell her for me

That my love will never die

Someday I'll walk along beside her

On that golden way up there



Now all my life I lived so gaily

Until she had to go away

Then she left me oh so lonely

She lies at rest beneath the clay



Each night I think about you dear

I wonder if you'll hold me then

When I meet you up in heaven

We'll have life eternal there
