about

A message from one who's crossed over the bridge.

lyrics

It seems like just a day or two since I was there beside you;
I seemed to know I’d soon be gone, but not sure what I’d find;
We talked a while before I walked the bridge across the river
Where my spirit found its freedom and the world was left behind.

Well it’s okay, today, to cry a little if you miss me;
But if you think of me tomorrow, I hope it makes you smile.
And if you need to talk from time to time, just call out my name;
You may not hear me answer, but I’ll be listening all the while.

I remember all the hymns we sang in church when I was little;
‘Bout the angels and the mansions and streets all paved with gold.
But the songs we sang in Sunday school, well they just don’t do it justice;
‘Cause the house of the Creator is filled with wonders untold.

So it’s okay, today, to cry a little if you miss me;
But if you think of me tomorrow, I hope it makes you smile.
And if you need to talk from time to time, just call out my name;
Though you may not hear me answer, I’ll be listening all the same.
Well it’s okay, today, to cry a little if you miss me;
But if you think of me tomorrow, I hope it makes you smile.
And if you need to talk from time to time, just call out my name;
Oh you may not hear me answer, but I’ll be listening all the while.

In the evening late when all is still, you may wonder how I’m doing;
Well I leave a message here and there, I know you find them now and then;
But when you finally cross the bridge to this side of the river
I’ll be waiting here for you, we’ll be together once again,
We’ll all be waiting here for you, together once again.
