I Can't Go Back There

I CAN’T GO BACK THERE

MOM AND DAD ARE GONE AND ALL THE CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND THE HOUSE WHERE WE GREW UP IS JUST A MEMORY – REFLECTION OF THE PAST SOMETIMES BRING TEARS TO MY EYES CAUSE I CAN NEVER GO BACK TO THAT TIME OF MY LIFE – OH BUT MAMA ALWAYS TOLD US – IF WE WOULD LIVE FOR JESUS – WE WOULD NEVER SEPARATE AGAIN – AND THAT UP IN HEAVEN NO ONE WOULD EVER CRY – AND WE WOULD LIVE FOREVER WHERE NO ONE SAYS GOODBYE

I CANT GO BACK THERE – BUT I CAN GO UP WHERE – FAMILY CIRCLES ARE NEVER BROKEN – AND NO ONE SAYS GOODBYE – I CAN’T GO BACK THERE – BUT I CAN GO UP WHERE – MOMS AND DADS SONS AND DAUGHTERS LIVE FOREVER IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

SOMETIMES I’D LIKE TO BE A LITTLE CHILD AND THEN
TURN AROUND AND RUN BACK HOME AGAIN – SMELL SUPPER ON THE STOVE HEAR MAMA SINGING ABOUT THE LORD – SEE DADDY WITH HIS BIBLE OPEN READING FROM GODS WORD – BUT DADDY ALWAYS TOLD US IF WE WOULD LIVE FOR JESUS WE WOULD NEVER SEPARATE AGAIN – AND THOUGH ITS TRUE I CANT GO BACK TO THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS I CAN GO TO A LAND WHERE FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER ALWAYS
