Hi,
I originally asked the question concerning the lyrics to Tanya Goodman Sykes song "Look For Me" and I have come up with the following:
After some research and correcting lyric differences due to the fact that I simply could not locate the lyrics that Tanya sings. (lyrics were of another artist) I decided to go straight to her recording to tie it together.
So after listening to Tanya's version several times; I inserted the changes to reflect her Dad's original lyrics. Hope this sets the record straight for a very moving, beautiful song!
Lyrics are below.
God bless you all!
Tony
LOOK FOR ME (FOR I WILL BE THERE TOO)
When you finally make your entrance to that city,
Of jasper walls and bright golden avenues:
As you behold all its beauty and its splendor,
Remember, there's just one request I make of you.
Look for me, for I will be there too,
I realize when you arrive there'll be so much to view;
After you've been there ten thousand years, A million, maybe two, look for me for I will be there too.
As you go down your list of firsts, there's no question,
We're gonna want to see our loved ones, awaiting me and you;
When you feel you've shared your story with the last one,
That wants to hear you tell just how you made it through;
Look for me, I'd like to hear it too,
I realize when you arrive there'll be so much to view;
After you've been there ten thousand years,
A million, maybe two, look for me for I will be there too.
Look for me for I will be there too.
