Farewell for a Little While Lyrics

FAREWELL FOR A LITTLE WHILE
(I) INTRO
TODAY AS I WALKED AMONG THE GRAVES,I MET A MAN DRESSED IN BLACK
HE STOOD BEFORE A HUMBLE STONE, BOWED HIS HEAD AND GENTLY WEPT
AS I TURNED TO WALK AWAY, HE SAID DEAR STRANGER WON’T YOU STAY
AND JOIN ME IN A LITTLE PRAYER, THEN THESE WORDS I HEARD HIM SAY
GOODBYE MY LITTLE BABY BOY
SOMEDAY WE’LL MEET AGAIN ON GOD’S GOLDEN SHORE
I REMEMBER THE WORDS HE SAID WITH A SMILE

FAREWELL FOR A LITTLE WHILE
BREAK – TURNAROUND
SOON MY LITTLE SON DREW NEAR AND AS HE STOOD BY MY SIDE
HE READ THE WORDS WRITTEN THERE, THEN HE BAGAN TO CRY
HE TOOK THE STRANGER’S TREMBLIN’ HAND
AND SAID, “ SIR, IT DON’T SEEM FAIR
I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FREIND
AND SOME DAY WE’LL PLAY TOGETHER THERE.”
CHORUS
BREAK
THEN THE STRANGER SMILED AT HIM AND SAID YOU REMIND ME OF THE TIME
THESE WERE THE LAST WORDS HE SAID
FAREWELL FOR A LITTLE WHILE
CHORUS
REPEAT LAST LINE
