The Chapin Sisters – Long Journey lyrics

God has given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and come for you
The pains of greed tug at my heart

Oh my darlin', my darlin'
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Oh the days will be empty the nights so long without you, my love
And as God calls for you, I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above

Oh my darlin', my darlin'
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Fond memories I'll keep of happy wakes that on earth we trod
And when I come home we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of God

Oh my darlin, my darlin'
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh my darlin', my darlin'
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
