“Before I Cross Heaven’s Sea” September 1965


When I hold you tight

And look into your eyes,

I enter unto a world

That’s known as paradise,

 

Spiritual sailors must

journey Heaven’s sea,

A trip across vast waters

Is where Paradise will be

 

I look into your eyes

And find I slip away,

I dream of you I do

I do this every day,

 

Time, time, time

Is a ravaging creature

Taking time away

Time is such a sad teacher,

 

Before time says goodbye

Place a kiss upon me,

And bid a sad farewell

Before I cross heaven’s sea.

The end,
