The Sweet Old By-And-By

Where you're dwelling now
Does the sunlight warm the floors?
Where you're dwelling now
Does a man call from the red painted doors?
And when you see him, do you see somebody else somehow?
Where you're dwelling, where you're dwelling now

Where you're sleeping now
Does the fire burn through the night?
Where you're sleeping now
Does the wild hunter wake you with a fright?
And if you're shaking, does he hold you there in the bough?
Where you're sleeping, where you're sleeping now

And where is the right word for this love?
Not how deep or how strong is this love
Or how long this love will be true
Oh, where are you
And where am I?
In the sweet old by-and-by, in the sweet old by-and-by

Where you're going now
Does the breeze blow there nice and clean?
Where you're going now
Does this letter mean nearly everything?
And as you read it, do you stop and reconsider your vow?
Where you're going, where you're going now
