Lyrics

And now, the hands of time
Are slowing down, on this ol' clock of mine
And it's no secret, for we all must die (Yes, my brother)
Sooner or later, we've all got to die (Bye, brother)
Please don't cry, don't cry
As I lift my eyes upward, toward the sky
The divine province of heaven becomes imaginary in my mind
And I gather the belongings of my inner self
And prepare, for it's my time
Dear Jesus, save me, save me
Woah, woah my dear
I know my time, my time is near
But before I go
I just have to let you know
That it's been wonderful
It's been marvelous, oh yes
And somewhere there, in the great Somewhere
We'll meet again
And we can be together
Together forever
'Cause my Father said
I know He said
Said He gonna
Save me, wooh yeah
Save me, said He would, He gonna
Save me, oh my Father gonna
Save me
So put a smile on your face
I'm going to that holy place
There's not too much I could say
Since I've loved my life in every way
And it's no secret, for we all must die
Sooner or later, we've all got to die
Please take my hand, as I drift off to the Promised Land
And somewhere there, in the great Somewhere
We'll meet again
And we can be together
Together forever
'Cause my Father said
He said He would
I know He will
He's gonna
Save me, oh my Father's gonna
Save me, wooh yeah
Save me, shout about it, He's gonna
Save me
We've planted our seeds
And we've watched them grow
Now it's time for ol' Gabriel to blow, oh yeah
Oww, wooh
Talk about it, shout about it
So put a smile on your face
I'm going to that holy place, oh yeah (Please save me)
Please, save me (Please save me)
Oh my Father
Save me, jump up and shout about it
Save me, oh my Father
Save me, wooh yeah
Save me
Gonna see some old friends of mine
We're gonna have a real good time, oh yeah (Save me, save me)
Oh my Father
Won't you please, save me (Save me, save me)
Oh my Father, oh my Father's gonna
Yeah, ow, come on yeah
Come on and save me now
You've got to
Save, yeah, come on, come on, baby
Good, good, good, good God almighty, got to, yeah
Man's lifespan, is but a drop in the ocean of time
I have lived mine, to the full
