lyrics

HIS LAST SONG

He died on a Someday with the blessed ones standing by.
We were waitin' on the sunrise; we knew that'd be the time.
I heard him singin' softly 'bout a Holy Home on High,
Called the names of all his children, then breathed one last goodbye.

And the sun goes up and down
And this old world keeps on turnin' round.

We sat a while in silence with the daylight chasing dawn.
Then Grandma finished cryin', and she put the coffee on.
"Remember what he told you 'bout hopeful and strong,
There's time enough for dyin', so meanwhile carry on."

And the sun goes up and down
And this old world keeps on turnin' round.

CHORUS
His last song was all about tomorrow.
And his last sight was the morning sun.
His last prayer was for his children.
And his last breath was not alone.

It's been a month of Somedays – all slowly drifin' by -
Since I sat there talkin' with him 'bout living and dyin'.
He’d say, "Used-To-Be ain't nothin' but a place you cannot go.
Hearts prefer tomorrow, that's where you’ll find the hope.”

And the sun goes up and down -
And this old world keeps on turnin' round.

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
