Sweetheart, we may live lonely here,
While on earth we have to stay;
But there'll come a time, my darling,
When our souls will sail away.
Let us live just for each other,
During life's weary struggle here;
For our souls will be together,
Then we'll know each other there.
Your smile on earth I may never see,
Nor your kind words ever hear;
If you'll smile on me in Heaven,
I am sure I'll know you there.
Hope to find a spot in Heaven,
Set aside for you and me;
We must do right on earth, dear,
So the angels we will see.
We have many friends in Heaven,
Who have gone on long before;
May we meet them and each other,
On that blissful golden shore.
If you enter that heavenly clime,
Before my stay on earth is o'er;
Keep the faith by watchin' and waiting,
For sweet Heaven is my only goal.
Should I reach the glory land,
Before your body in clay is lain;
May God ever be with you,
'Til we meet each other again.
Your smile on earth I may never see,
Nor your kind words ever hear;
If you'll smile on me in Heaven,
I am sure I'll know you there.
