"Death Is Only A Dream" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

Sadly we sing and with tremulous breath
That we stand at the mystical stream
Through the valley inside the dark river of death
And yet it's no more than a dream

Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream

Prepare me, my savior, prepare me, I pray
To cross o'er this terrible dark stream
O lead me and guide me and be near my side
It'll be nothing more than a dream

Only a dream, only a dream
Of glory beyond the dark stream
How peaceful the slumber, how happy the waking
For death is only a dream
