Lyics

ONLY a few more years,

Only a few more cares,

Only a few more smiles and tears,

Only a few more pray'rs;



Only a few more wrongs,

Only a few more sighs,

Only a few more earthly songs,

Only a few good-byes;



Then an eternal stay,

Then an eternal throng,

Than an eternal, glorious day,

Then an eternal song.
