Oh my sweet ones,
Weep no more for me.
I’m sailing on to paradise,
Finally set free.
Remember how you held me,
And all the love we shared.
All the memories haunting you
Should never make you scared.
Remember me forever,
Far beyond this death.
Lead me to the River
That courses past the end.
I’ll float on tranquil waters
That drift beyond the grave,
And feel the love you offer
And in my heart you’ll stay.
Oh be still now,
Rest your weary heads.
Seek for the horizon
Beyond the water’s edge.
There you’ll hear me calling,
“Be brave my little men.”
I’ll wait here on the River
Until we meet again.
Remember me forever,
Far beyond this death.
Lead me to the River
That courses past the end.
I’ll float on tranquil waters
That drift beyond the grave,
And feel the love you offer
And in my heart you’ll stay.
And though my aching beckons me
Beyond the stars, beyond the sea,
I promise you will always be
In my heart.
Remember me forever,
Far beyond this death.
Lead me to the River
That courses past the end.
I’ll float on tranquil waters
That drift beyond the grave,
And feel the love you offer
And in my heart you’ll stay.
I’ll feel the love you offer
And in my heart you’ll stay.
