Just Beyond The Moon Lyrics

Tex Ritter Just Beyond The Moon

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 wouldn’t tell us why
Instead she’d 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 you’d never leave me
Through these golden years i’ve kept the same vow too
But now that i am going please don’t leave me
I’ll walk just beyond the moon then i’ll stop and wait
for you

(chorus 1)
You can look up every night and you’ll see me light the
light
Where i’ll watch for you to join me someday soon
We’ll go lookin through the stars for the heaven that
is ours
And i know we’ll find it soon somewhere just beyond the
moon

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

(chorus 2)
I’ll just sit there by a star and i’ll watch you from
afar
Til i see you walking toward me someday soon
Then together hand in hand we’ll find our promised land
And we’ll settle down forever darlin’ just beyond the
moon

(tag) i’ll walk just beyond the moon then i’ll stop and
wait for you
