I could hear them singing Precious Mem'ries as the congregation sang a hymn for me I saw my widowed wife tremble and cry As my few friends pa**ed to say their last goodbye Now the preacher he never did say where I'd spend eternity His sermon was pretty short and you could tell that he didn't even know me Then I heard the strangers say why that man he just lived in the bars And I saw my two little children pa** with their hands full of flowers
I could hear them singing... And then I awoke from my dream and realized that I wasn't dead And I got down on my knees right there beside my bed I said Lord now everything that I've torn down I'm gonna fill back with the love Cause last night I had a dream a dream that finally woke me up And now I thank the Lord above for the dream last night that woke me up
