Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone
'Cause I won't have to leave here alone
And when I hear that last trumpet sound
My feet won't stay on the ground
I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly
I'm gonna ride with my Lord thru the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodby world, goodby
I won't have the blues anymore
When I step across to that shore
And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind
My heartaches and tears evermore
A day maybe two then goodby
Tomorrow I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodby world, goodby
