Subject: Lyr Add: I Will Meet You in the Morning^^
At my brother's memorial service we played a bluegrass cut of a tape he had recorded. And he sang:

I will meet you in the morning on the bright river side
When all sorrows have drifted away
I'll be standing at the portal with the gates open wide
At the close of life's long , dreary day.

Cho: I'll meet you in the morning with a How do you do?
And we'll sit down by the river and with rapture auld acquaintance renew
You'll know me in the morning by the smile that I wear
When I meet you in the morning in that city that is built four-square.

I will meet you in the morning in the sweet by and by
And exchange the old cross for a crown
There will be no disappointments and no body shall die
In that land where life's sun goeth down.

Cho.

I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way
On the streets of that city of gold
Where we all can be together and be happy for aye
As the years of eternity roll...
