| I'll Fly Away |
| Has it been that long Since I sat upon your knee? You sang to me so sweetly. I hugged you happily. Your voice was so strong, As you sang, "Oh, Glad Day." You talked about Heaven. You said, "I'll fly away." I never really understood Just what you tried to say. I only knew I loved you. I didn't want you to go away. "Papa loves you, honey," Was the last thing you said to me. Oh, glad day and you flew away. I wondered why I didn't see. One glad morning, when his life was o'er My papa flew away To his home, on God's celestial shore. Lord, my papa flew away. |
