If I Should Leave Today
If I should leave today
Do not be sad tomorrow
I have tasted honey sweet
And had my share of sorrow
I listened to the robin's song
It filled my heart with pleasure
I have known so many souls
And count them all as treasure
I will miss the evening glow
And perhaps the winters snow
The murmuring wind in swaying pines
And fragrant flowers on the vines
There is a promise I will keep
That for your soul I seek
And wait for you beyond the grave
Until you're home with me and safe…
