Should You Go First
Should you go first and We remain
To walk the road alone
111 live in memory's garden, dear,
With happy days we've known.
..- In spring F'll wait for roses red,
. .
When fades the lilac blue
In early fall when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimse of you.
Should you go first and we remain
One thing we have to do
Walk slowly down the path of death
For soon we'll follow you.
We'll want to know each step you take
That we may walk the same
For some day down that lonely road
You'll hear us call your name.
