I told all my troubles goodbye Goodbye to each tear and each sigh This world where I roam cannot be my home I'm bound for that land in the sky I walk and I talk with my Lord I feast every day on His Word Heaven is near and I can't stay here Goodbye, world, goodbye I won't have the blues anymore When I step across to that shore And I'll never pine for I'll leave behind My heartaches and cares evermore A day, maybe two, then goodbye Goodbye, to in sorrow inside Heaven is near and I can't stay here Goodbye, world, goodbye Now don't you weep for me when I'm gone For I won't have to leave here alone And when I hear that last trumpet sound My feet won't stay on the ground I'm gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly I'm gonna ride with my Lord through the sky Heaven is near and I can't stay here Goodbye, world, goodbye Goodbye, world goodbye
