If You Should Go

If you should go before I do
To your golden place
I will always think of you
And your smiling face

If you should go before I do
The world won’t be the same
I know I’ll wake up at night
And softly call your name

If you should go before I do
Life was such a pleasure
Every hug and kiss you gave 
Was my lasting treasure

If you should go before I do
Please don’t go too fast
I will want to follow you 
To be with you at last

If you should go before I do
I know you’ll light the way
To guide me oh so swiftly
To our promised days

But if it’s me to journey on
Think of me, remember this song
Our life was blessed our love was strong
And in your heart, I won’t be gone
