Lyrics Song to John - Emmylou Harris

Song to John

I tried to remember the things that are precious to you
And I’d give you money if that would do
But money won’t do it, that’s not your way
Your money is been for givin' away
Now, if you precede me and go to your grave
And the Angels knock the clouds about
When Jesus comes to save
I’ll be standing there to rise with you and to go up, as you do
And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine
Forever and always till the end of time
Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun
We’ll rise up together as one
So I let my hair hang down, 'coz that’s the way you like it
And I’ll keep myself neat and nice for you
And I’ll have good food on your table
And I’ll keep your house in order
And I’ll pray for you
For your wisdom and understanding and your charity
And even if you’ve been wrong and I’ve known it
You’ve always been right because that’s Gods order
And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine
Forever and always till the end of time
Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun
We’ll rise up together as one
And I will smile for you and I’ll be kind
And I’ll love your babies, just as I’ve loved mine
And when I could give you nothing
God blessed me and I gave you a son
And I’ll always love you, you’ll always be mine
Forever and always till the end of time
Till the mountain split open with the weight of the sun
We’ll rise up together as one
