Where the hills roll down to the sea
I watched the waves on the ocean,
they seemed to whisper to me
I beheld you there before me,
you kissed my tear -stained face
Your lips were warm, your love was real
You vanished without a trace
Call the earth to witness
Save your tears for the living
I wondered the high mountain meadow
Where you lay my body down
Your dress was stained with colors,
pretty flowers all around
As the sun sank in the ocean,
I returned your sweet caress
And the words you whispered to me
As you held me to your breast
All the earth you witnessed
Save your tears for the living
Darlin' I'll never forget you
As I wander alone tonight
I feel you here beside me
In the lonesome pale moonlight
In your eyes I see no sorrow,
from your lips I hear you pray.
Save your tears for the living,
before God takes you away.
Call the earth to witness
Save your tears for the living
Save your tears for the living
