Lyrics
Early Train
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff
You caught an early train to heaven
I hope there wasn’t any pain
If there is life hereafter
I’ll see you once again, I’ll see you once again
You had an easy kind of laughter
Never stingy with a smile
Some people always see the dark side
That never was your style
Repeat Chorus
And though you had no sons or daughters
You touched the many you had known
Your spirit’s shining in them
Look at how those seeds have grown
You said you didn’t want us crying
Or feeling sad when you were gone
So we sing in celebration
Your love and laughter carry on
Repeat Chorus
