Last night I had a dream, my dear; 
  A                  E 
I dreamed I saw you again. 
                                     F#           B 
Your smile was just as lovely as the day it all began. 
  E                                  A                E 
I saw your face I kissed your lips I felt your warm embrace, 
       A        E        B              A 
then I woke up alone and you were still gone, 
        E          B            E 
and the loneliness lied in your place. 
 
   A                   E 
If death is worse than cryin' 
                     B 
because God took you away, 
     A        E         B         A 
then why do I long each day to be gone? 
         E          B              E 
Life without you is worse than the grave.

If I had my way, I'd leave here today; 
    A                           E 
I'd leave this old world here below; 
 
I'd meet you up there in the land bright and fair, 
     F#                 B 
Dear Lord, I'm ready to go! 
         E 
But I'll have to wait for you, my dear, 
        A                        E 
till my number is called to come home. 
  A             E        B          A 
Until that glad day when I hear you say, 
    E              B      E 
"My Love you're no longer alone." 
 
   A                   E 
If death is worse than cryin' 
                     B 
because God took you away, 
     A        E         B         A 
then why do I long each day to be gone? 
         E          B              E 
Life without you is worse than the grave. 
 
   A                   E 
If death is worse than cryin' 
                     B 
because God took you away, 
     A        E         B         A 
then why do I long each day to be gone? 
         E          B              E 
Life without you is worse than the grave.
