Rest Assured
My head's wandering around in circles
But my heart is young
May not be able to say much anymore
But I can still feel all of your love
Rest assured that right now
This is all I want
To sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
And gather all of my children close
Please understand when The Lord calls you home
You can't say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
Time catches up to all of us
That power you think you have
It won't last long
Remember me in every pine tree
As the sun catches you in between
Rest assured that right now
This is all I could want
It's all that I need
To sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
And gather all my grandchildren close
Please understand when the Lord calls you home
You can't say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
It's time for me to cross that white line
See those I love that live beyond
Don't you cry for me
Remember how strong I used to be
Oh, darling, follow my lead
And sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
Everybody, gather round me real close
You've got to understand The Lord is calling me home
And I don't want to say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
But my heart is young
May not be able to say much anymore
But I can still feel all of your love
Rest assured that right now
This is all I want
To sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
And gather all of my children close
Please understand when The Lord calls you home
You can't say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
Time catches up to all of us
That power you think you have
It won't last long
Remember me in every pine tree
As the sun catches you in between
Rest assured that right now
This is all I could want
It's all that I need
To sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
And gather all my grandchildren close
Please understand when the Lord calls you home
You can't say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
It's time for me to cross that white line
See those I love that live beyond
Don't you cry for me
Remember how strong I used to be
Oh, darling, follow my lead
And sing another round of 'Old, Old Joe'
Everybody, gather round me real close
You've got to understand The Lord is calling me home
And I don't want to say 'no'
My words aren't matching my heart quite right
I'm sorry I wasn't really here to say goodbye
