Just Beyond The Moon-Tex Ritter

Ill walk just beyond the moon then ill stop and wait for you (recitation) My mother and my father were in love for 50 years So when dad died we wondered why my mother shed no tears We asked her once about it but she wouldnt tell us why Instead shed walk outside each night and smile up at the sky Then just before she left us she called us to her side She told us what my father said to her just before he died I remember when you said youd never leave me Through these golden years ive kept the same vow too But now that i am going please dont leave me Ill walk just beyond the moon then ill stop and wait for you (chorus 1) You can look up every night and youll see me light the light Where ill watch for you to join me someday soon Well go lookin through the stars for the heaven that is ours And i know well find it soon somewhere just beyond the moon Ill walk just beyond the moon then ill stop and wait for you (chorus 2) Ill just sit there by a star and ill watch you from afar Til i see you walking toward me someday soon Then together hand in hand well find our promised land And well settle down forever darlin just beyond the moon (tag) ill walk just beyond the moon then ill stop and wait for you
