If death is worse than cryin' because God took you away Then why do I long each day to be gone? Life without you is worse than the grave V2) If I had my way I'd join you today I'd leave this old world here below I'd meet you up there in that land bright and fair Dear Lord, I'm ready to go But I'll have to wait here and dream of you dear Till my number is called to come home Until that glad day when I hear you say, "My Love you're no longer alone." V1) When it feels this world is closing in and no one really seems to care. That's when I close my eyes and to my surprise I smell the perfume in your hair. I thought I had known other loves in my life but that was before I met you. Now I have no doubt what love is about you made all my dreams come true. Ch) No matter how many miles between us, or how long I have to stay. No matter how far I am from you, You're only a thought away. V2) Often times I fail to tell you, just how important you are in my life. You're so much more than one person to me, You're my friend, you're my lover, my wife. Please don't think I take you for granted, if I forget to tell you how much I care. Like a ship set adrift on an ocean
