I Smile As the Glory Falls

Verse 1: The spring of youth was bright and bold, We danced in light, stories untold, Reputation shining, revelry high, But the party fades as the years roll by. The whisky's burn, it numbs the pain, But it don’t stop the body's slow decay. Wrinkles carved like lines in stone, The glory fades, we face it alone. Chorus: But I smile as the glory fades, As the veil draws near, and shadows shade. The light of youth may flicker out, But there's a hope that clears my doubt. For there's a glory that never ends, A life eternal just 'round the bend. The resurrection shines through it all, So I smile as the glory falls. Verse 2: The stories old, the young folks mock, They chase the highs, but hit the rocks. They don’t yet know how quick it slips, How fame and fun fall from the grip. I’ve seen the best of what life gave, But all that glory ends in the grave. Still, there's a hand that reaches through, A light that fades, then makes all new. Chorus: But I smile as the glory fades, As the veil draws near, and shadows shade. The light of youth may flicker out, But there's a hope that clears my doubt. For there's a glory that never ends, A life eternal just 'round the bend. The resurrection shines through it all, So I smile as the glory falls. Bridge: The spring of youth, it danced so fast, But that kind of glory never lasts. Yet there’s a crown that waits ahead, For those who rise, though they be dead. Chorus: And I smile as the glory fades, As the veil draws near, and shadows shade. The light of youth may flicker out, But there's a hope that clears my doubt. For there's a glory that never ends, A life eternal just 'round the bend. The resurrection shines through it all, So I smile as the glory falls.
