Just Beyond The Moon

I'll walk just beyond the moon

Then, I'll stop and wait for you

My mother and my father were in love for fifty years

So, when dad died, we wondered why my mother shed no tears

We asked her once about it but she wouldn't tell us why

Instead, she'd walk outside each night, and smiled held the sky

And just before she left us, she called us to her side

She told us what my father said to her just before he died

I remember, when you said, you'd never leave me

Through these golden years, I've kept the same by two

But now, as I am going, please don't leave me

I'll walk just beyond the moon, then, I'll stop and wait for you

You can look up every night, and you'll see me, light the light

Where I'll watch for you to join me, someday, soon

We'll go looking through the stars, for the heaven that is ours

And I know, we'll find it soon, somewhere, just beyond the moon

I'll walk just beyond the moon, then, I'll stop and wait for you

I'll just sit there by a star and I'll watch you from afar

Till I see you walking toward me, someday, soon

Then, together, hand in hand, we'll find our promised land

And we'll settle down forever, darling

Just beyond the moon

I'll walk just beyond the moon

Then, I'll stop and wait for you
