(‘Til then I'm gonna miss y-ou)
O-oh
There's never been a day
When your memory's, not on my
m-ind
Sometimes I cr-y
You are the water
That cleanses my s-oul
And you are the beauty
That makes me, wh-ole
Mmm-mmm-mmm
I'll see you
On the other side
Somed-ay
(I really just can't imagine)
I really just can't imagine
Any other w-ay
Wait for me
‘Cause I'll see you again
In t-ime
I know I'll see the day
When I can hold you
On the other s-ide
Oh my my my
Ooo-ooo
I'm gonna h-old you
I look above the clouds
And I wonder, what you're doin'
th-ere
Th-ere
When I close my eyes
I can feel you everywh-ere
Oh yes I can
I remember you laughing
O-oh
It feels so w-arm
Each day that is passing
I'm closer, to h-ome
Oh, I can hardly wait
There's no crying
(On the other s-ide)
We'll be smiling, y-eah
(On the other s-ide)
We'll be, together again
And I'm living for, (living for that
d-ay)
Oh no
(Wait for me)
I'm gonna see
(‘Cause I'll see you again)
I'll see you, I'll see you again
In t-ime
‘Cause I know I'll see the day
When I can hold you
I'm looking forward the day
When I can touch you once more
(I'm livin' for the day)
(I'll be with y-ou)
I'll be with y-ou
(On the other s-ide)
O-h, you and me
In etenit-y
Oh oh
Said I'll keep pressin' on
‘Cause you see
One of these mornings it won't be long
I'll be goin' to the other side
Mmm, hey, oh yes I will
(One of these mornings it won't be long)
(I'll be goin' to the other side)
Y-eah
One of these mornings it won't be long
I'll be goin' to the other side

@bigdave941x
I would encourage anyone who have lost a loved one to listen to the song and experience the joy of the Lord as you recall the sweet memories of your lost ones. Mom we love you and we will see you on the other side.

@isaacava920
For my grandpa Aufotu Lefotu whom i love so much, and for pastor Siupapa Vaovasa who brought me up in the word, this song reminds me of everything I was raised to be, everything you both have instilled in me, and everything I plan on sharing with my kids when the time comes. Til we meet again ❤️
@shawnlee8902
May God Bless their souls tremendously
@shawnlee8902
I know they were Beautiful People
