The Gold Crested Stringdusters - Sweet By and By Lyrics

I remember the days of troubles and sin
In my home where the ocean meets the greens of the hills
I remember the tears, the joy and the smiles
And I know I'll see it again in the sweet by and by

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than boy
Trying to find a place to settle in, something to bring me joy
When I left my home I remember my little brother cried
But I said don't worry brother I'll see you in the sweet by and by

Sweet by and by, I'll be right home
Oh I can think of you in the times when I'm alone
Sweet by and by, I'll see you then
I'll hold my heart, close my eyes
And I'll be with you again

I've traveled through the east and I've traveled through the west
But there's no place like home and the place I know the best
Many years have gone by, the tears have gone dry
I'll be ready to travel home in the sweet by and by

In the twilight of our lives, together we'll reminisce
On the moments of life and the love we didn't miss
With each falling leaf, the longing grows inside
To be reunited home in the sweet by and by

Sweet by and by, I'll be right home
Oh I can think of you in the times when I'm alone
Sweet by and by, I'll see you then
I'll hold my heart, close my eyes
And I'll be with you again

I want to raise a glass to the passing of youth because
Memories are bright and this whisky so smooth
With a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eyes
I know I'll see it all again in the sweet by and bye

Sweet by and by, I'll be right home
Oh I can think of you in the times when I'm alone
Sweet by and by, I'll see you then
I'll hold my heart, close my eyes
And I'll be with you again

Sweet by and by, I'll be right home
Oh I can think of you in the times when I'm alone
Sweet by and by, I'll see you then
I'll hold my heart, close my eyes
And I'll be with you again
