But your soul will live forever
Now they say that you have died
Now I know you'll be close by
Then I feel that you're close by
And a spot they left beside
The tears from you I tried to hide
I saw you last while you were leaving
You took me in your arms and said dear
Your memory I keep close by
Years have passed you've not returned dear
I press your picture to my bosom
They buried you in a lonely graveyard
There I'll sleep till Jesus calls us
