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 apart
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)
