(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)
