When I see you on the other side

(Easy guitar rhythem for accompaniment).

Verse:G,F,C,G---(3rd line each verse: G,D,C,G)

Not that long ago I lost a very close friend of mine
It came in a winter of discontent when the sun refused to shine
And though the years were good we knew nothing which could stop the hands of time
So now I sit here living in the pain of loss searching for some peace of mind

Chorus: D,C,G,D---(last line refrain: C,D,G)

And when I see you on the other side
My heart won't hold back the love that it now hides
When tears of joy are the only tears that are cried
We'll be together forever in His paradise
When I see you on the other side

Verse:

I sit and I gaze at the pictures from her life
The smiles and frowns the ups and downs the pleasure and the strife
I laugh and cry at the love in her eyes and my heart begins to ache
It's not the loss of life that makes me cry but emptyness of love I can't take

Verse:

The days they pass on now as though they'd done before
And time will ease this pain that I now must endure
But I'll try to recall that she lived her life not in vain
She lived it day to day and come what may she took it as it came

Chorus: same as above

Verse:

So now I say goodbye and I long for the coming day
But my life is yet to live and I'm going to live it all the way
And when the sands of time have returned me to dust again
I'll cross that rainbow bridge and I'll be sure to find my friend

Chorus: same as above
