Ricky Skaggs - Close By Lyrics
You've gone so far away, my darling
Each time I think of you I cry
I press your picture to my bosom
Then I feel that you're close by.
Now they say that you have died
But your soul will live forever
Now I know you'll be close by.
I saw you last while you were leaving
The tears from you I tried to hide
You took me in your arms and said dear
Your memory I keep close by.
They buried you in a lonely graveyard
There I'll sleep 'till Jesus calls us
So that we can be close by...
