letra de vacant chair - john & mary
we shall meet, but we shall miss him
there will be one vacant chair
we shall linger to caress him
while we breathe our evening prayer.
when a year ago we gathered
joy was in his mild blue eyes,
but a golden chord is severed
and our hopes in ruin lie.
we shall meet, but we shall miss him
there will be one vacant chair
we shall linger to caress him
while we breathe our evening prayer.
at our fireside, sad and lonely,
often will the bosom swell,
at remembrance of the story
how our n-ble willie fell;
how he strove to bear our banner
through the thickest of the fight,
and uphold our country’s honor
in the strength of manhood’s light.
we shall meet, but we shall miss him
there will be one vacant chair
we shall linger to caress him
while we breathe our evening prayer.
true, they tell us wreaths of glory
ever more will deck his brow,
but this soothes the anguish only
sweeping o’er our heartstrings now.
sleep today, oh early fallen,
in thy green and narrow bed,
dirges from the pine and cypress,
mingle with the tears we shed.
we shall meet, but we shall miss him
there will be one vacant chair
we shall linger to caress him
while we breathe our evening prayer.
