I Would Like To Rest Before I Die

I'd like to rest before I die before my final trip In the warm ocean waves, my feet I'd like to dip walking on sandy beaches, hand in hand with my soul mate I'd like a final holiday, before I reach the Heaven's gates. I'd like to see New York a lifelong dream it's been or have a chance to stay, at a fine old British Inn I'd like to touch the shores of Ireland Then land of heart and kin Then when I went home I'd say what a trip it's been. I'd like to go to France, rent a studio and drink wine spend a week or two at the cafe's , now wouldn't that be fine see all the galleries and take in all the sights walking benath the Eiffel Tower with my love at night. I'd like to see the Vatican, the galleries and museums I'd like to go to Venice and see all the great scenes I'd like to go to China and shop in the side streets And spend some time just watching , all the people I would meet I'd like to ride the railway and travel coast to coast I'd like to see Canada, the country I love most We'd dine on the fine China , while the country would fly by and in the travel car, you can see the open sky if I should never get to do this don't be sad for me at all who knows for sure the hour ro day That God will come to call for I've seen so much and had my time, upon this planet earth I've been loved and have loved , before I rest beneath the dirt I'ts more than some have had, I've been blessed I always say And though I hope to always dream I've had quite a fine stay.
