Montgomery

Montgomery Leave her here upon the hillside amongst the trees And the markers and flowers where the dove did flee The peaceful river flows by and the dogwood blooms Where breathlessly she sleeps in the midst of my gloom My tears only disturb the sweet scene of her rest The leafs are at their richest, the sky at its best The earth at its sweetest, its leaves of gold and red Are falling ever so softly all around her bed Let me go home and leave her in her estate Without a tear; and not looking back at the gate Oh let me go back home where she will be no more Step up on the porch and slowly open the door There’ll be no sound of her voice; no smile from her face But her song will go on and flowers in her place, Will beautifully smile and so gently ease my pain She is with me still; even through the pouring rain And though tears come again, from my eyes they bloom And my heart grieves in silence in my darkened room It is all in heaven’s plan till He comes again To me it’s darkness; it’s morning to her and Him
