Im looking for this pearly white city song, it goes like these:

In the beautiful city where it's always springtime
where the flowers bloom on and on
where the hearts always dreaming
the music sublime

chorus
in the beautiful city that pearly white city
im longing to be yes m longing to be
to live there forever
with Jesus who died for me,,,,

Pearly white city

I've searched and can't find anything other than this.
It's an inspiring hymn so I'll go ahead and post
so we can all be blest
...with the hopes that between all of us here
we can come up with your version

Pearly White City
Arthur F Ing­ler, 1902

There's a holy and beautiful city
Whose Builder and Ruler is God;
John saw it descending from Heaven,
When Patmos, in exile, he trod;
Its high, massive wall is of jasper,
The city itself is pure gold;
And when my frail tent here is folded,
Mine eyes shall its glory behold.

Refrain

In that bright city, pearly white city,
I have a mansion, a harp, and a crown;
Now I am watching, waiting, and longing,
For the white city that's soon coming down.

No sin is allowed in that city
And nothing defiling or mean;
No pain and no sickness can enter,
No crepe on the doorknob is seen;
Earth's sorrows and cares are forgotten,
No tempter is there to annoy;
No parting words ever are spoken,
There's nothing to hurt or destroy.

Refrain

No heartaches are known in that city,
No tears ever moisten the eyes;
There's no disappointment in Heaven,
No envy and strife in the sky;
The saints are all sanctified wholly,
They live in sweet harmony there;
My heart is now set on that city,
And some day its blessings I'll share.

Refrain

My loved ones are gathering yonder,
My friends too are passing away,
And soon I shall join their bright number,
And dwell in eternity's day;
They're safe now in glory with Jesus,
Their trials and battles are past.
They overcame sin and the tempter,
They've reached that fair city at last.

Refrain
