Just Around the Corner

[00:13.47] 1. You can hear the songbirds singing,

[00:16.92] And you watch the clouds roll by.

[00:20.90] Then you’re walking in the valley

[00:25.41] As the sun shines in a clear blue sky.

[00:29.40] You’re welcoming your loved ones,

[00:33.39] And you can’t believe your eyes.

[00:37.38] Yes, this earthly Paradise

[00:41.10] Was just around the corner.

[00:49.33] 2. There’s a house down in the valley

[00:53.31] And a house high on the hill.

[00:57.29] There is singing by the river

[01:01.28] As the water flows and turns the mill.

[01:05.53] The golden fields are waiting.

[01:09.25] Let the harvesting begin.

[01:12.97] Once the world we’re living in

[01:16.95] Was just around the corner.

[01:20.93] (BRIDGE)

[01:21.46] It’s great to share with friends who care

[01:25.45] The things that we looked forward to.

[01:29.44] Now ev’ry tear has disappeared.

[01:33.69] The world is young, and life is new.

[01:37.14] 3. There’s the sound of happy voices

[01:41.12] And the scent of new mown hay.

[01:45.37] Now you’re calling to your loved ones

[01:49.36] As you start another perfect day.

[01:53.34] Then we thank our God, Jehovah,

[01:57.07] For his tender loving care.

[02:01.32] Yes, the blessings we all share

[02:05.04] Were just around the corner.

[02:08.77] (BRIDGE)

[02:09.56] And evʹry day I smile and say,

[02:13.54] “How good to see your happy face!”

[02:17.54] ʹCause once, it seemed, I only dreamed

[02:21.24] That you’d be in my warm embrace.

[02:25.49] 4. Waiting ʹround the corner

[02:29.22] Is a world I long to see.

[02:33.20] It’s a promise from Jehovah.

[02:37.18] It’s a guaranteed reality.

[02:41.17] And it’s hard to get downhearted

[02:45.16] When I think of what’s in store.

[02:50.73] It’s the day I’m waiting for,

[02:53.39] And it’s just around the corner.
