* SHOULD YOU GO FIRST *
Should you go first and we remain To finish with the scroll. No lengthening shadows shall creep in, To make the life seem droll. We've known so much of happiness, We've had our cup of joy. And Memory of one gift of God, That death cannot destroy.
Should you go first and we remain One thing we'd have you do; Walk slowly down the path of death, For soon we'll follow you.
We want to know each step you take That we may walk the same For someday down that lonely road You'll hear us call your name.
