I remember when you said you'd never leave me
Through these golden years I've kept the same vow too
But now that I am going, please don't leave me

I'll walk just beyond the moon,
then I'll stop and wait for you.

You can look up every night and you'll see me light the lights
Where I'll watch for you to join me some day soon
We'll go looking through the stars for the Heaven that is ours
And I know we'll find it soon, somewhere just beyond the moon.

I'll walk just beyond the moon
Then I'll stop and wait for you.

I'll just sit there by a star and I'll watch you from afar
Till I see you walking toward me some day soon.
Then together hand-in-hand we'll find our Promised Land
And we'll settle down forever, darling just beyond the moon.

I'll walk just beyond the moon
Then I'll stop and wait for you.

Tex Ritter, 1967
