Everybody's dressed in black.
The preacher's saying life goes too fast.
The memories have turned to tears,
Thinking back on all the years.
I know that you're in a better place,
But I'm still here missing you today.
It isn't easy to say goodbye,
But I know it's only for a little while.
Run up ahead and I will catch up,
'Cause I'm gonna see you when tomorrow comes
On the other side,
On the other side.
I bet you feel you're finally home
Running down those streets of gold
The kind of peace you can't explain,
Looking into Jesus' face.
I know that you're in a better place,
I know I'll be joining you someday.
It isn't easy to say goodbye,
But I know it's only for a little while.
Run up ahead and I will catch up,
'Cause I'm gonna see you when tomorrow comes
On the other side.
Where there are no more goodbyes,
No more pain, no more tears left to cry —
We will join with the angels singing their song,
Praising our savior, all the day long.
It isn't easy to say goodbye,
But I know it's only for a little while.
Run up ahead and I will catch up
'Cause I'm gonna see you when tomorrow comes
On the other side,
On the other side,
On the other side,
On the other side.
