Lyrics

Take me beyond the pearly gates
Through a beautiful marble hall
Take me before the highest throne
And let me be judged by the highest Judge of all
Let the Lord shout and yell
And His eyes flash flame
I promise not to quiver when He calls my name
Let Him send me to hell
But before I go
I feel that I'm entitled to a hell of a show
Want pink-faced angels on a purple cloud
Twangin' on their harps 'til their fingers get red
Want organ music—let it roll out loud
Rollin' like a wave washin' over my head
Want every star in heaven
Hangin' in the room
Shinin' in my eyes
When I hear my doom
Reckon my sins are good big sins
And the punishment won't be small
So take me before the highest throne
And let me be judged by the highest Judge of all
He's dead, Nettie
What am I gonna do?
Well, you're gonna stay here with me
Main thing is to keep on living
Keep on caring what's going to happen
Remember the sample you gave me?
Remember what it says?
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
