It Won't Be Very Long

Mama let me bring your old harmonica to you

I'll get out my guitar and we'll play a song or two

We'll let the music take us back to when I was a kid

Take our minds of everything in the way it always did

We'll play "You Are My Sunshine"; we'll do "Amazing Grace"

We'll stop and catch our breath and let our laughter fill this place

And it's too bad with all the family Dad's not here to play along

We'll get back together and it won't be very long

Will the circle be unbroken? You always said it would

And we'll all meet again someday and feel it like we should

When the room is cold up yonder and tawnyoo is no more

We'll be shoutin' and a singin' precious memories to the Lord

And we'll play "You Are My Sunshine" and do "Amazing Grace"

And stop and catch our breath and let our laughter fill this place

With all the family, Dad will be right there to play along

When we get back together and it won't be very long

When we get back together and it won't be very long
