Song to John - Emmylou Harris

I tried to remember the things that are precious to you

And I’d give you money if that would do

But money won’t do it, that’s not your way

Your money is been for givin' away

Now, if you precede me and go to your grave

And the Angels knock the clouds about

When Jesus comes to save

I’ll be standing there to rise with you and to go up, as you do

And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine

Forever and always till the end of time

Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun

We’ll rise up together as one

So I let my hair hang down, 'coz that’s the way you like it

And I’ll keep myself neat and nice for you

And I’ll have good food on your table

And I’ll keep your house in order

And I’ll pray for you

For your wisdom and understanding and your charity

And even if you’ve been wrong and I’ve known it

You’ve always been right because that’s Gods order

And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine

Forever and always till the end of time

Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun

We’ll rise up together as one

And I will smile for you and I’ll be kind

And I’ll love your babies, just as I’ve loved mine

And when I could give you nothing

God blessed me and I gave you a son

And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine

Forever and always till the end of time

Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun

We’ll rise up together as one
