D/H A A/F#
God's given us years of happiness here

D/H A A/F#
And as the angels come and call for you
A D D/F#-G Dx
The pangs of grief tug at my heart
[Chorus]
A D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
A A/F# D/G Dx Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
[Verse]
D/H A A/F#
The days will be empty the nights so long

Without you my love

But we will meet in heaven above

Oh my darling, my darling

As one in heaven in the family of God
[Chorus]
A D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
A A/F# D/G Dx Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
