Lyrics
Another Rising Sun ? Mark Skinner
Written 2002 music-2003 Lyrics
Another rising sun,
a brand new day with you.
I wish they?d never end,
but know they always do.
I?ll work and toil these hours
To make ends meet for us.
Our family and our home
And loving you so much
And when my time has come
I hope they all will say
He was a truthful man
Who knew how to work and play
He sang some simple songs
about whats real in life
he tried to help his friends
and always love his wife
The maker he would see
Him at the pearly gates
To greet and welcome in
Eternities last fate.
And when his time has come
I hope they all will say
He was a truthful man
Who knew how to work and play
Dear mom I miss you so
You were so dear to us
But now your back with Dad
In all eternity
It seems just like yesterday
You?d hold me on your knee
And sing a happy song
With tales of Galilee
You taught me right from wrong
I tried to stay the path
Sometimes I may have strayed
But never far at that.
Another rising sun,
a brand new day with you.
I wish they?d never end,
but know they always do
And when my time has come
I hope they all will say
He was a truthful man
Who knew how to work and play
And when my time has come
I hope they all will say
He was a truthful man
Who knew how to work and play
