Don'T Cry For Me
One day I'll lay upon a bed
and someone near will declare me dead
Don't cry for me when my time is done
for life for me has just begun
I'll enter Heaven through pearly gates
and walk down the streets of gold
And Jesus will be waiting with open arms
with found loved ones young and old
Grandma will be holding the babies
while rocking in her chair
And Mom will be cooking my favorite meal
saying how happy she is I'm there
Grandpa will be taking a peaceful nap
and smiling as he dreams
And Dad will be watching the ballgame
and cheering his beloved team
Old Blue will be barking a welcome
while wagging his stubby tail
And we'll go stalking the fields again
in search of pheasant and quail
Angels will be singing sweet melodies
soothing all worldly fears
And pain and suffering will finally cease
along with the needless tears
So don't cry for me when my time is done
for there will be so much to do
I'll be in heaven with those from the past
helping prepare a home for you
