Thread Name: Lyr Req: Who Will Sing One Song for Me?
Subject: ADD Version: Who Will Sing for Me? (Ely)
Here's the version Dale sent me from the 1939 Stamps-Baxter book, Favorite Radio Songs Number Two
Who Will Sing for Me?
(lyrics and music by J. T. Ely, Stamps and Ely, owners) - 1939
Oft I sing for my friends,
When death's cold form I see,
But when I am called,
Will some one sing for me? (for me?)
Chorus
I wonder who (I wonder who)
Will sing for me (will sing for me)
When I'm called to cross the silent sea,
Who will sing (who will sing) for me (for me)?
When the voice of my King
Shall call me home above
O who then will sing
The parting song I love? (I love?)
CHORUS
But I know that at last
With our life's record fair,
With trials all past
We shall all sing up there (up there.)
CHORUS
So I'll sing till the end
And helpful try to be,
Assured that some friend
Will sing a song for me. (for me.)
CHORUS
