Emmylou Harris - Song To John lyrics

I tried to remember the things that are precious to you And I'd give you money if that would do But money won't do it, that's not your way Your money is been for givin' away Now, if you precede me and go to your grave And the Angels knock the clouds about When Jesus comes to save I'll be standing there to rise with you and to go up, as you do And I'll always love you, you'll always be mine Forever and always till the end of time Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun We'll rise up together as one So I let my hair hang down, 'coz that's the way you like it And I'll keep myself neat and nice for you And I'll have good food on your table And I'll keep your house in order And I'll pray for you For your wisdom and understanding and your charity And even if you've been wrong and I've known it You've always been right because that's Gods order And I'll always love you, you'll always be mine Forever and always till the end of time Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun We'll rise up together as one And I will smile for you and I'll be kind And I'll love your babies, just as I've loved mine And when I could give you nothing God blessed me and I gave you a son And I'll always love you, you'll always be mine Forever and always till the end of time Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun We'll rise up together as one
