Sweetheart I recall the day I first met you

I wonder if you remember the same

We talked of the love we shared for each other

And longed for the day we'd change your sweet name



   I can still hear your voice in the evening

   I see your sweet face your blue eyes so bright

   God took you away and left me so lonely

   The angels are singing in heaven tonight



As the years passed away we cherished each other

No worries or cares to darken our day

From our little home up in the Clinch Mountains

The saviour came down and called you one day



I'll always be true and love you my darling

But I know you are happy and healthy up there

When God calls me home I'll meet you in heaven

Please wait for me darling I'll meet you up there
