| Last night I dreamed
|
| I walked along the paths of paradise
|
| And only God could tell you
|
| What I’ve seen
|
| But when I woke my heart was sad
|
| For then I realized
|
| The paradise for me
|
| Was still a dream
|
| But now I know that I’m the one
|
| Who journeys there to rest
|
| And every man must find
|
| His way alone
|
| But if a man can prove his try
|
| To do his very best
|
| The line of life
|
| Will lead the stranger home
|
| So when temptation blinds my eyes
|
| Lord I need to know
|
| Send down the winds to beat me
|
| Come and tell me I must go
|
| So when at last these days of life
|
| Are numbered few for me
|
| And fear and pain
|
| As she left from my eyes
|
| I’ll bow my head and say a prayer
|
| Wherever I may be
|
| To walk again
|
| The paths of paradise |
