1. 1. You can hear the songbirds singing,

   And you watch the clouds roll by.

   Then you’re walking in the valley

   As the sun shines in a clear blue sky.

   You’re welcoming your loved ones,

   And you can’t believe your eyes.

   Yes, this earthly Paradise

   Was just around the corner.

2. 2. There’s a house down in the valley

   And a house high on the hill.

   There is singing by the river

   As the water flows and turns the mill.

   The golden fields are waiting.

   Let the harvesting begin.

   Once the world we’re living in

   Was just around the corner.

   (BRIDGE)

   It’s great to share with friends who care

   The things that we looked forward to.

   Now ev’ry tear has disappeared.

   The world is young, and life is new.

3. 3. There’s the sound of happy voices

   And the scent of new mown hay.

   Now you’re calling to your loved ones

   As you start another perfect day.

   Then we thank our God, Jehovah,

   For his tender loving care.

   Yes, the blessings we all share

   Were just around the corner.

   (BRIDGE)

   And evʹry day I smile and say,

   “How good to see your happy face!”

   ʹCause once, it seemed, I only dreamed

   That you’d be in my warm embrace.

4. 4. Waiting ʹround the corner

   Is a world I long to see.

   It’s a promise from Jehovah.

   It’s a guaranteed reality.

   And it’s hard to get downhearted

   When I think of what’s in store.

   It’s the day I’m waiting for,

   And it’s just around the corner.
