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.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.
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.
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.
