I'll Soon Be There

I remember when we were childhood sweethearts
we played together every day
then your mother would call and you’d go running
and these are the words I heard you say
When the wind blows soft across the valley
and the birds and flowers fill the air
meet me there down by the river
there’s no need to worry I’ll soon be there
I remember holding your hand
in the church yard on our wedding day
but our country called and I went running
and these are the words I had to say
When the wind blows soft across the valley
and the birds and flowers fill the air
meet me there down by the river
there’s no need to worry I’ll soon be there
And now I’m holding your hand
it won’t be long until you pass away
the angles have called and you’ll go running
and these are the words I know you’ll say
When the wind blows soft across the valley
and the birds and flowers fill the air
meet me dear down by the river
there’s no need to worry I’ll be waiting for you there
