Lyrics
By and By
It was lonely on the mountain, the night I first heard my name
The echo was a thousand voices, but the answer never came
I know I come from somewhere else, and one day I?m bound to go
Back to the one behind the sun, whose love can heal my soul
But don?t you fret, don?t you cry
Love gonna come for you, By and By
Don?t you weep, don?t you moan
Love won?t leave you here, on your own
The wicked and the wanton, they try to dim my fire
I doubt my song, I doubt my voice, I doubt my own desire
But spirit sent me here to sing, to try to cry to deal to dream
Still I need someone to tell me, it?s all gonna be alright
But don?t you fret, don?t you cry
Love gonna come for you, By and By
Don?t you weep, don?t you moan
Love won?t leave you here, on your own
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
Won?t you send me someone to keep me tied to this life
Who knows your ways and keeps these days with me, not afraid to fight
And I?ll love him like forever, that washes all your pain
And I?ll love him like the memory, that whispers your name
But don?t you fret, don?t you cry
Love gonna come for you, By and By
Don?t you weep, don?t you moan
Love won?t leave you here, on your own
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
My love, my love, my endless love
