In the Sweet By and By

The day that we met
I felt in the air

A change in the wind
The breeze in my hair

A man who had come
From far, far away

Who would teach me to laugh
To live and to play

Our time spent together
Flew by so fast

One moment the first
The next one the last

You treated me well
I felt like a queen

Who would have thought
Fate to be so mean

One day I realized
I was as free as the birds

The day you left
You gave me these words…

Though I am now gone
I watch from afar

Always remember
Who and what you are

You are beautiful and loved
And ever so dear

Know in your heart
I will always be near

Whenever you feel lonely
Just look to the sky

We’ll be together again
In the sweet by and by.
