Is this the only time we meet, when we see each other across the street
A seeing glance a little wave, till we see each other at the grave
Your life has gone and is no-more, there isn’t now an open door
Will we ever see our plight and come together and unite
How sad it is that we should go and never know how we could grow
I looked for comfort but it never came and now I hide my face in shame
I wanted arms to hold me tight and see me through the darkest night
I sit in darkness all alone waiting for the telephone, to change the news for another tone
It never rang, it never changed, the news I got is just the same
The clock of life ticks slowly on, I cannot turn the hands away, to stop them reaching this final day
But as I know there is a life beyond this sorrow and the strife
There is a time and a place where we come together as a race
No tears or sorrow mar your face but only his amazing grace has taken you to a better place
A place of peace beyond compare, a place of love for all to share
And as the time of life goes by I’m drawn towards the bright blue sky
The gentle clouds that roll on by
And then I know that life rolls on and I can sing a brand new song
And then the sun will shine again and take away all your pain
And change your sorrow to another name
