Goodbye World, Goodbye

By Rex Nelon

Lyrics

I told all my troubles goodbye

Goodbye to each tear and each sigh

This world where I roam

Cannot be my home

I'm bound for that land in the sky

 

I walk and I talk with my Lord

I feast every day on His Word

Heaven is near and I can't stay here

Goodbye, world, goodbye

 

Chorus 

Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone

'Cause I won't have to leave here alone

And when I hear that last trumpet sound

My feet won't stay on the ground.

I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly

I'm gonna ride with my Lord through the sky

Heaven is near and I can't stay here

Goodbye, world, goodbye

 

I won't have the blues anymore

When I step across to that shore

And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind

My heartaches and tears evermore

 

A day, maybe two, then goodbye

Tomorrow, I'll rise up and fly

Heaven is near and I can't stay here

Goodbye, world, goodbye

 

Just a little while to stay here

Just a little while to wait

Then I'll say goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, world, goodbye

World, goodbye
