Lyrics
I've 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 home 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
Now, don't you weap for me when I'm gone
'Cause 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 rise with my Lord in the sky
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 tears ever more
A day, maybe two then goodbye
Tomorrow, I'll rise up and fly
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
Now, don't you weap for me when I'm gone
'Cause 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 rise with my Lord in the sky
Heaven is near and I can't stay here
Goodbye world, goodbye
Just a little while to stay here
Just a little while to wait
And then I'll say Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye world, goodbye
World goodbye
