I
I SENT FOR YOU BROTHER BUT I'LL NOT KEEP YOU LONG,
FOR THE MOMENTS I HAVE LEFT ARE FEW.
I'M MOVING TO HEAVEN TO JOIN MOM AND DAD,
AND THIS QUESTION I HAVE TO ASK YOU.
CHORUS
WHEN I GET TO THOSE BEAUTIFUL GATES BEAUTIFUL GATES,
WHERE MOTHER AND DADDY NOW WAIT DADDY NOW WAIT.
WHEN I STAND BEFORE HIM, WHO DIED ON THE CROSS
TELL ME HOW CAN I TELL THEM YOU'RE LOST.
II
SINCE MOTHER AND DADDY HAVE BEEN CALLED AWAY,
I'VE BEEN LONGING TO SEE THEIR NEW HOME.
I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN WAITING TO MEET US UP,
THERE, SINCE THE DAY THAT THEY LEFT US ALONE.
