Merle Haggard If We Never Meet Again lyrics

If we never meet again, this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and it's strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life

Where the charmin' roses bloom forever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on the beautiful shore

Soon, we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps, we'll never meet anymore
'Til we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore

Where the charmin' roses bloom forever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

(I will meet you on that beautiful shore)
Soon, we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps, we'll never meet anymore
'Til we gather in heaven's bright city

Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life

Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

Oh, they say, we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
And they say, we'll be happy in heaven
In the wonderful sweet by and by
If we never meet again

(If we never meet again this side of heaven)
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
(Beautiful beautiful shore)
