Closing Time

(G) We have moved from our quiet valley
To a much larger one in (C) town
Old age caused us to make this sudden (D) sally
But we can’t let the fast pace get us (G) down

The old log cabin in the (G) timber
Was the place we loved  the (C) best
But our heart and eyes grew (D) dimmer
So we moved to a place where we could (G) rest

Father-time’s long arms will soon pull us (G) in,
But for now we are closer to those who (C) care
Back with our young ones once (D) again
Getting ready for when He calls us (G) there.


Getting ready for when he calls us (G) there
Getting ready for when he calls us (C) there
We will live again in that quiet  (D)place
 that sweet log cabin up in the (G) air.
