I stand here so solemn with a blank look on my face
As you lay there dressed in white lace
With my head bowed ow Lord the tears are streaming down
I can hear that old preacher man say
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
Until we meet beyond the shining river
Spoken:
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you
And a white fence will surround you
And on your marker words of love I'll inscribe
And though in death we're apart
You know you'll always be in my heart
And it won't be long till I'll be by your side
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
Until we meet beyond the shining river
As you lay there dressed in white lace
With my head bowed ow Lord the tears are streaming down
I can hear that old preacher man say
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
Until we meet beyond the shining river
Spoken:
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you
And a white fence will surround you
And on your marker words of love I'll inscribe
And though in death we're apart
You know you'll always be in my heart
And it won't be long till I'll be by your side
In loving mem-o-ries we gather
In loving mem-o-ries on this sad day
In loving mem-o-ries for-ever
Until we meet beyond the shining river
