Sweet Bye and by Lyrics

It was late Sunday afternoon
When I found out your time was soon
I went to be at your side
Hold your hand wipe your eyes
But you were smiling not a tear in sight
You took my hand said it will be all right

You said I'm bound for that Sweet Bye and Bye
Where the sun don't set and the saints don't die
I'll see you again my closest friend
In that Sweet Bye and Bye

I watched your momma cry as you lay sick about to die
And I saw your daddy's anger 'cause he could keep you free from the danger
And your brother, he won't be the same
Somehow he feels like he's to blame
But I know what I know that some folks live and some folks go

Now your bound for that Sweet Bye and Bye
Where the sun don't set and the saints don't die
I'll see you again my closest friend
In that Sweet Bye and Bye

In that Sweet Bye and Bye we'll meet again my closest friend
Please wait for me there at the gate to let me in
My closest friend
In that Sweet Bye and Bye
Where the sun don't set and the saints don't die

Your bound for that Sweet Bye and Bye
Where the sun don't set and the saints don't die
I'll see you again my closest friend
In that Sweet Bye and Bye
