From Life's Other Side

Life is too short
To worry about dying
For after you’re gone
It’s a mighty long time
From the top of the world
To the edge of tomorrow
I’ve pondered the thought
Of losing my mind
So dear to my heart
Was no one that mattered
But something was wrong
She didn’t say what
For she left this whole world
For a brighter tomorrow
And she left me down here
On life’s other side
For day after day
Of trouble and sorrow
Bring night after night
Of worry and stride
If something don’t change
My way by tomorrow
Then I’m gonna walk
To life’s other side
There is no need at all
In bottled-up feelings
And the lucid dreams
Are so hard to find
For I’m down on my knees
And low down trees
Oh, the journey with thee
To life’s other side
So live for the day
And face your tomorrow
Though the road may be long
And I know just as wide
For I picture my world
With no pain and sorrows
What a wonderful view
From life’s other side
For day after day
Of trouble and sorrow
Bring night after night
Of worry and stride
If something don’t change
My way by tomorrow
Oh, then I’m gonna walk
To life’s other side
If something don’t change
My way by tomorrow
Oh, then I’m gonna walk
To life’s other side
