Lyrics / Untitled Coutnry Song

A Country Song

When you sing a song of revelry,
hum that giddy tune for me,
for soon I shall be leaving-
the caged bird fluttering free.
Cry not when my wings feel the air
towards Heaven my eyes are fixed,
I'll hug you when you greet me there
if you stay away from the devil's tricks.
My number's been called
and we lived it all
and for that
a man's gotta pay his bill eventually.
Been blind for so long,
out from dusk till dawn,
Think someone I haven't talked to much
is ready to be a-calling me.

(chorus)
Don't cry for me,
it tears me up my darlin.
Our fingertips pulling apart has got you sad.
Now I sail away on a pillow of wind
up higher than the snowy mountains,
every day I ever spent with you
was the best days on earth I could have ever had.

Gonna sleep now and forever, my lovely miss
lick my fingers and turn the page.
Heard Mama and Daddy's up there a-calling me,
time to turn the lights out on the stage.
I feel strong hands lifting under my feet,
catapaulting my saved soul aloft.
I love you more than life itself my sweet,
But I gotta go thank a man for His cross.

(chorus)
Don't cry for me,
it tears me up my darlin.
Our fingertips pulling apart has got you sad.
As I sail away on a pillow of wind
up higher than the snowy mountains,
every day I ever spent with you
was the best days on earth I could have ever had.

Away I go now
and I must say wow
the stars have never seemed so bright.
This epic view of earth I see
tiny ball of blue glory-
just floating so quiet in a pool of night.
Everyone I've ever missed just gave me a kiss
even old Blue just licked my face.
When you get here baby
love to show you around,
this world without time or space.

(last chorus)
Don't cry for me,
no need for it my darlin.
Up above the world I'm doing fine.
My fingers are still caressing yours,
my lips pressed to your cheek,
our parting is just a flicker of time.
