Carole King - Way Over Yonder Lyrics

I feel this song in my bones... I have said for over 25 yrs that this will be played the day I die <3

Love Carol King😁

this beutiful song it should be located a way over yonder

i would go right now if the Lord would just please come get me. Maybe tomorrow....

Listen to the lyrics....

From the beautyfull film...THE TALE...U must see the story of the movie

And I thought it was only my momma that loved Carole King! I get it now, momma! I miss you! See you over yonder one day!

I want this song played at my HOME GOING FUNERAL ...AMEN

Carole+Elton+Paul Mc Cartney=MUSIC!!!

And Cat Stevens as well.

An excellent track that gets overlooked....

Miss my MaMa

How can this not have 1m + views???? I honestly think it's the perfect song/poem ever written. Only an angel could write this.

I adored singing this as child..still do 💋

This is a beautiful, Beautiful song. Makes me think about my mother.

To my Beautiful, Amazing Mother, Dolores ;*) Rest in Peace, mom... You'll Always be in my Heart <3


Way over yonder
Is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter
From a hunger and cold
And the sweet tastin' good life
Is so easily found
A way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
I know when I get there
The first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden
Shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me
Worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly
In true peace of mind
Talkin' about
Talkin' about
A way over yonder
Is a place I have seen
In a garden of wisdom
From some long ago dream
Oh yeah
Ooh maybe tomorrow
I'll find find my way
To the land where the honey runs
In rivers each day
And the sweet tastin' good life
Is so easily found
A way over yonder
That's where I'm bound
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
A way over yonder
That's where I'm bound

This song is destroying me. Half way thru 2019 and an just finding it about this. Why is this so good!?!

They don't write them like they used to, I'm here from listening to James Taylor

Mom this ones for You! You found it! I love You Mom!

when this album first came out I hated it. Probably because between band and choir we played it constantly and I just got sick of it.  In 1988 I rediscovered it and it has been my #1 go to ever since.

Mom this ones for You!

This has remained on of my favorite albums since it was released. Now, at 69yrs old, I'm still longing for that place she speaks of. That..." garden of wisdom, from some long ago dream". Maybe tomorrow!

Wish you were here on Sandy Neck. 💟Cape Cod Loves you and I thank you for your appearance on MSNBC. We are sisters ✌

Nobody sent me. I’m just here because I have a great taste in music.

I’m not emotionally stable enough to listen to this the whole way through but I absolutely love this song

A E You, in your heart of hearts, embody all the love, and all the joys, that you ever could want.

I want this played at my funeral.

Thank you to the pastor that introduced me to Carole king and her melody. God bless you Rev. Randy Campbell.

One of my favs

‘Yonder’ comes from the Dutch ‘ginder’ (meaning “over there”) and the English ‘yon.’ .--> Cool :-)

I once heard that good "art" beckons one to return to it again and again. This it what Ms.Carol King and her music does to me. I find myself returning again and again and again. God's Blessings to all.

I am so old and so glad,we had the best music...

Lori Holman Me, too!!

@solara skye What a great songs. Alex from Brazil.

Way over yonder, is a place that I know
Where I can find shelter, from hunger and cold
And the sweet-tastin' good life, is easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound

I know, when I get there,
the first thing I'll see Is the sun shining golden, shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna loose me, worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind
Talkin 'bout Way over yonder, is a place I have seen
It's a garden of wisdom, from some long ago dream

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find my way
To the land where the honey runs, in rivers each day
And the sweet-tastin' good life, is so easily found
Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound
Ooh-oh-oh Way over yonder That's where I'm bound
