I'll Be There
Rochesters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel,
The chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new




I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

on Just a Little Talk With Jesus

Heaven Can You Imagine

There’s a place I have heard of and read about
A land where there cometh no night
My mind cannot comprehend this forever that has no end
A sea where the soul never dies.

Heaven can you imagine
Its beauty can’t be described
Heaven tell me can you imagine
It’s my home on the other side

Tag (It’s my home on the other side)

I have seen many mansions by the road
And my how they glitter and shine
But none of them can compare
To my home God has prepared
And someday it will be mine

There my loved ones wait
For me just inside the gate
It will be like reunion day
But best of all we will see
The One who died so willingly
Yes Jesus who took our place

There’s a place I have heard of and read about
A land where there cometh no night
My mind cannot comprehend this forever that has no end
A sea where the soul never dies.

Heaven tell me can you imagine

I have seen many mansions by the road
And my how they glitter and shine
But none of them can compare
To my home God has prepared
And someday it will be mine

There my loved ones wait
For me just inside the gate
It will be like reunion day
But best of all we will see
The One who died so willingly
Yes Jesus who took our place
