A gentle smile and quiet nod
You gave to me amongst the storm
In a time that’s least expected
No that feeling is not the norm
It takes me to a place so far
Beyond all these earthly things
And in my heart there is no doubt
What that place beyond will bring
The troubles here they’ll pile on
And cause us to forget
That place beyond from which we come
Where there is no more regret
I’ll take the largest burden
For which I can bear
So when I reach the great beyond
You’ll be proud that I was there
Let my hands do works abound
In that such limitless love
So all can see that place beyond
And turn their hearts above
My feet they’ll walk the path ahead
Though the rocks they cut and bleed
They’ll carry me to the place beyond
Where there I’ll no longer need
I can still smell you on my coat
From the night before the last
Thinking about the things you wrote
Making it all worth the past
This is the love in the place beyond
I’ll get hints of it now and then
Sometimes a song, a fragrance, or a word
And I remember again
In all the unknown we see no point
As we live day to day
But order then reveals itself
When we see a bigger hand at play
The road behind was all laid out
With each step we took in mind
Gives me no fear for what’s ahead
Though the road ahead is blind
I’ll meet you there in that place beyond
When our two roads unite
The home that we knew all along
Of which we used to write
Until then I’ll take the glimpse
Through the smell of your perfume
Dreaming of the day at last
I spend eternity with you
