The ceremony was over |
|
A lad stood alone in tears |
|
For he had just said goodbye |
|
To the one he had loved thru the years. |
|
He stood all alone with his head bowed down |
|
As though his heart would break |
|
Then the Parson came over and took his hand |
|
And to him these words he did say. |
|
When God comes and gathers his jewels |
|
All his treasures of diamonds and gold |
|
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair |
|
When God comes and gathers his jewels. |
|
Each night when the pale moon is shining |
|
You can see this lad all alone |
|
With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven |
|
He's repeating these words he was told. |
|
When God comes and gathers his jewels |
|
All his treasures of diamonds and gold |
|
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair |
|
When God comes and gathers his jewels. |
