If I should go before you,

If life on earth were through;

I'll stop just inside Heaven's door,
And there I'll wait for you.

You've but to look 'cross star filled skies,
Past the moon and then beyond;
To know my leaving could never break,
This heart's undying bond.

And if you should go before me,

If your journey on earth were through;
You know I will be close behind,
I'll never be far from you.

Across the span of time and space,
This love will reach this far;

For you'll always carry a bit of my heart,
No matter where you are.

We've no way of knowing who will remain,
Or who will go on before;

But if I should go first,
you'll find love there,

I'll be waiting just inside Heaven's door.
