    Default Urgent Please help - lyrics for funeral 1/19

    My grandmother asked me to find lyrics to a song she wants played at my grandpa's funeral on Friday (1/19). This is the same day as their wedding anniversary. We don't know the title of the song by Stuart Hamblen, but it has the following lyrics: "Should you go first and I remain".

    She would like to read the lyrics.

    Please help me.

    I found a song with similar lyrics. It's called "Beyond the Sunset". Check it out:

    Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
    I'll live in mem'ry's garden dear with happy days we've known
    In spring I'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs blue
    And in early fall when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you
    Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought
    Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
    I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
    The mem'ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
    Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven is begun
    Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done

    Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
    No less than shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
    We've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy
    And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
    I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
    For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
    Should you go first and I remain one thing I'll have you do
    Walk slowly down that long long path for soon I'll follow you
    In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore

    Same as Sandy with a bit more info. I found this song on an album at the following url:
    LP Discography


    BEYOND THE SUNSET
    (Virgil P. Brock - Blanche K. Brock)
    « © '50 Word Music, ASCAP »

    Beyond the sunset oh blisful morning
    When with our Saviour heaven is begun
    Earth stroll is ending oh glorious dawning
    Beyond the sunset when day is done

    Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
    I'll live in memory's garden dear with happy days we've known
    In spring I'll watch for roses red when fades of lilac's blue
    In early fall when the brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you

    Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
    No lenghtening shadows shall creep in to make this life seem droll
    We've known so much of happiness yes we've had our cup of joy
    And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy

    Should you go first and I remain one thing I'd have you do
    Walk slowly down that long path for soon I'll follow you
    I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
    For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call
    Yes you'll hear me call your name

    Beyond the sunset oh glad reunion
    With our dear loved ones who've gone before
    In that fair homeland we'll know no parting
    Beyond the sunset for evermore
    (For evermore)
