Lyrics
The Great Beyond
Seems our time has come and gone
from love's embrace we must move on
smile and wave goodbye as we go back into The Great Beyond
Though all our dreams are torn apart
by forces greater than we are
hope you find the love your hearts been longin for out there in The Great Beyond
If I could find a way to make you change your mind and stay I would
Shout it loud and clear you wouldn't hear me even if I could
So as I lay me down to sleep I miss the love I'd hoped to keep a piece of me goes with you as you walk away
Solo
If I could find a way to make you change your mind and stay I would
Shout it loud and clear you wouldn't hear me even if I could
Since there are no words left to say as you are travelling on your way I hope you think of me sometime and smile out there in The Great Beyond out there in The Great Beyond out there in The Great Beyond
