Just around the corner

[00:13.16] 1. You can hear the songbirds singing,

[00:17.16] And you watch the clouds roll by.

[00:21.16] Then you’re walking in the valley

[00:25.17] As the sun shines in a clear blue sky.

[00:29.68] You’re welcoming your loved ones,

[00:33.16] And you can’t believe your eyes.

[00:37.20] Yes, this earthly Paradise

[00:40.92] Was just around the corner.

[00:49.44] 2. There’s a house down in the valley

[00:53.40] And a house high on the hill.

[00:57.44] There is singing by the river

[01:01.41] As the water flows and turns the mill.

[01:05.44] The golden fields are waiting.

[01:09.41] Let the harvesting begin.

[01:13.43] Once the world we’re living in

[01:17.43] Was just around the corner.

[01:21.16] (BRIDGE)

[01:21.66] It’s great to share with friends who care

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

[01:29.46] Now ev’ry tear has disappeared.

[01:33.43] The world is young, and life is new.

[01:39.43] 3. There’s the sound of happy voices

[01:41.91] And the scent of new mown hay.

[01:45.16] Now you’re calling to your loved ones

[01:49.43] As you start another perfect day.

[01:53.43] Then we thank our God, Jehovah,

[01:57.41] For his tender loving care.

[02:01.15] Yes, the blessings we all share

[02:05.42] Were just around the corner.

[02:09.16] (BRIDGE)

[02:09.42] And evʹry day I smile and say,

[02:13.63] “How good to see your happy face!”

[02:17.42] ʹCause once, it seemed, I only dreamed

[02:21.43] That you’d be in my warm embrace.

[02:26.17] 4. Waiting ʹround the corner

[02:29.18] Is a world I long to see.

[02:33.16] It’s a promise from Jehovah.

[02:37.18] It’s a guaranteed reality.

[02:41.43] And it’s hard to get downhearted

[02:45.43] When I think of what’s in store.

[02:50.65] It’s the day I’m waiting for,

[02:56.66] And it’s just around the corner
