Beyond The Rainbow’s End

I have gone from sight but I am waiting,
Waiting just beyond the rainbows end.
I′m happy in this place that I have come to,
Because I’m here with my forever friend.
Now all your thoughts of me let them be joyful,
Of things we′ve done and happy times we’ve shared,
So don’t be sad dear ones because I′ve left you,
Please laugh and talk of me as if I′m there.
Just look up in the sky I am the sunshine,
I’m the mist that rises on a summers morn,
I′m the gentle breeze that cools the autumn evening,
When the birds sing in the trees I am there song.
This journey I have made one day you′ll make it,
You still will be with my forever friend,
It’s then once more that we will be together,
I′ll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.
It’s then once more that we will be together,
I’ll meet you just beyond the rainbows end.
Yes I′m waiting just beyond the rainbows end.

END.
