Somewhere, beyond the shadows, Where the grass grows tall and green, And the sun shines down on flowers, (The loveliest ever seen), A little girl is dancing With butterflies and birds And singing in a lilting voice A song that needs no words. She knows no pain or illness, never feels anger or fear, Her eyes are bright and smiling And never shed a tear. Somewhere, beyond my vision, Past the shining stars above, A little girl is cradled In happiness and love. She is never lonely, Angels are her company. And, perhaps, she’s looking, From up high, down here at me. Somewhere, beyond my reach, In a world I cannot touch, Is the little girl I love And miss so very much. Someday I’m going to join her In that place so far away, And I will find my little sister so we can go out and PLAY!
