CI'll walk Gjust beyond the D7moon then I'll stop and wait for GyouC  G  
My mother and my father were in love for C50 years
So when dad D7died we wondered why my mother shed no tears
GWe asked her once about it but she wouldn't tell us why
Instead she'd walk G7outside each night and Csmile up at the sky
Then just before she Gleft us she called us to her D7side
She told us what my father said to her just before he GdiedC  
I reGmember when you G7said you'd never Cleave me
Through these D7golden years I've kept the same vow GtooD7  
But Gnow that I am G7goin' please don't Cleave me 
I'll walk Gjust beyond the D7moon then I'll stop and wait for Gyou C  G  
You can D7look up every night and you'll Gsee me Clight the Glight
Where I'll A7watch for you to join me someday D7soon
We'll go Glookin' through the stars for the Cheaven that is A7ours
And I Gknow we'll find it D7soon somewhere just beyond the GmoonC  G  
CI'll walk Gjust beyond the D7moon then I'll stop and wait for GyouC  G  
I'll just D7sit there by a star and I'll Gwatch you Cfrom aGfar
Till I A7see you walking toward me someday D7soon
Then toGgether hand in hand we'll Cfind our promised A7land
And we'll Gsettle down D7forever darlin' just beyond the GmoonC  
I'll walk Gjust beyond the D7moon then I'll stop and wait for Gyou  C  G

Instead she'd walk outside each night and smile up at the sky

She told us what my father said to her just before he died

I remember when you said you'd never leave me

Through these golden years I've kept the same vow too

But now that I am goin' please don't leave me

You can look up every night and you'll see me light the light

I'll walk just beyond the moon then I'll stop and wait for you
