Song Lyrics

Dry away the tears
Lay aside your fears
No more pain, for my love
I am here, now go to sleep

And when the angels come
I know that they will treat you well
That they will pull you through
And lift you up from all that's held you down

There's a heaven up there
And it waits just for you
So close your eyes and dream
And there will be a world you once knew

A world without the pain
That has stuck with you for far too long
A world that does contain a love like mine
To watch you grow strong

And when my time arrives
Please wait and make a place for me
For when I do arrive
Your face should be the first face I see

So dry away the tears
Lay aside your fears
No more pain, for my life
It is time
Now go to sleep

Huddie Ledbetter, John A. Lomax
