One Day We'll Be Together

One Day We'll Be Together

The Supremes sing a song, "Some Day We'll Be Together"
I'm growing quite nostalgic during this gloomy weather
I remember many of those who I no longer get to see
And my Mama's expression, "What will be will be"

I've had many failures and disappointments along life's way
Broken relationships, lost friendships, what more can I say
But all of those people have become part of my memory
I often think about an old fashioned preacher named Emory

I would like to reunite with some of them
Sit at a big old table and sing an old hymn
Amazing Grace would be a good one to sing
What comfort and hope that song does bring

As a soldier I have lived at many places
In my mind I can see some of the faces
Of those I served with across the sea
Fond memories of them come to me

You never know when an old friend will pop by
Many have departed to their home in the sky
One day we'll be together to part never more
When we set feet on that happy golden shore
