Closing Time

Closing time
Soon I’ll say goodbye to you for the last time, and I will travel to a land that’s far away
I will close my eyes in death and take this journey, so please listen close to what I have to say.

(Intro
soon I’ll say goodbye to you for the last time
Soon I’ll say goodbye to you for the last time, because I’m going to a place so far from you
I will close my eyes in death and take this journey, to a land somewhere beyond that sky of blue.
Chorus:
Take my hand precious love and hold it gently. For my time is short upon this plane below
We will meet again someday in that bright city, and I’ll hold you where the crystal waters flow

I have heard the preacher talk about that city.
And they said that the streets were made of gold
And; he said that we would live there with our savior,
in a land where we will never more grow old.
Turn around; repeat last line
in a land where we will never more grow old.

So take my hand precious love and hold it gently. For my time is short upon this plane below
But we’ll meet again someday in that bright city, and I’ll hold you where the crystal waters flow

I can feel the chill of death upon my body.
And; I can hear the call of heaven’s holy dove.
I can hear the bells of heaven sweetly ringing.
I am going to a land that’s filled with love.

So take my hand precious love and hold it gently. For my time is short upon this plane below
But we’ll meet again someday in that bright city, and I’ll hold you where the crystal waters flow
Tag; repeat last line
in a land where we will never more grow old.

I’ll be standing there beside the crystal water, longing for you to come into view
Please don’t disappoint me dear for I’ll be waiting, for I want to be the first to welcome you
