Sweet By and By lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pick a switch, read the bible
Hunt and fish for survival
Plant a seed, watch it grow
Learn to trust which way the wind blows
Let your mama know you love her
You will never have another

[Chorus]
Daddy, I have not forgotten
Lessons learned under the light of a Southern, starry sky
Family's the light that guides us
Blessed be the ties that bind us
Sweet by and by
Sweet by and by

[Verse 2]
Tell the truth, earn your dollar
Let not your heart asunder
Save yourself, believe in faith
Good things come to those who wait
Let your daddy know you love him
You will never have another

[Chorus]
Momma, I have not forgotten
Lessons learned under the light of a Southern, starry sky
Family's the light that guides us
Blessed be the ties that bind us
Sweet by and by
Sweet by and by
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Daddy, I have not forgotten
Lessons learned under the light of a Southern, starry sky
Momma, I have not forgotten
Lessons learned under the light of a Southern, starry sky
Sweet by and by
Sweet by and by
