Just Beyond The Moon

(I'll walk just beyond the moon 
Where I'll stop and wait for you)

(Spoken)
My mother and my father were in love for fifty years 
So when Dad died, we wondered why my Mother shed no tears 
We asked her once about it, but she wouldn't tell us why 
Instead she'd walk outside each night and smile up at the sky 
Then just before she left us, she called us to her side 
She told us what my father said to her, just before he died

(Singing)
I remember when you said you'd never leave me
Through these golden years I've kept the same vow, too
But now that I am going, please don't leave me
I'll walk just beyond the moon, then I'll stop and wait for you

You can look up every night, and you'll see me light the lights
Where I'll watch for you to join me some day soon
We'll go looking through the stars, for the Heaven that is ours
And I know we'll find it soon, somewhere just beyond the moon

(I'll walk just beyond the moon
Where I'll stop and wait for you)

I'll just sit there by a star, and I'll watch you from afar
Till I see you walking toward me some day soon
Then together hand-in-hand, we'll find our Promised Land
And we'll settle down forever, darling, just beyond the moon

(I'll walk just beyond the moon
Where I'll stop and wait for you)
