Meet Me In Heaven Lyrics
We saw houses falling from the sky Where the mountains lean down to the sand We saw blackbirds circling 'round an old castle keep And I stood on the cliff and held your hand
We walked troubles brooding wind swept hills And we loved and we laughed the pain away At the end of the journey, when our last song is sung Will you meet me in Heaven someday
(Chorus) Can't be sure of how's it's going to be When we walk into the light across the bar But I'll know you and you'll know me Out there beyond the stars
We've seen the secret things revealed by God And we heard what the angels had to say Should you go first, or if you follow me Will you meet me in Heaven someday
Living in a mansion on the streets of gold At the corner of Grace and Rapture Way In sweet ecstasy while the ages roll Will you meet me in Heaven someday
In sweet ecstasy while the ages roll Will you meet in Heaven someday
Cash wrote this song to honor his brother Jack, who was killed at a young age. They were very close and Johnny looked up to his brother who was 3 years older. The title of the song was taken from what was written on his brother, Jack's tombstone. The same was also written on their dad's stone as well.
To add to the above, I saw an interview where Johnny recalled that as Jack was dying, he told his mother he could see heaven and said, "Will you meet me in Heaven someday?"
