Additional verses...
You can bury me in some deep valley for many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another while I am sleeping in my grave.
(While he is sleeping in his grave. )
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger my face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore.)
