Seven years old upon my knees Seven years old upon my knees Sete anos de idade sobre os meus joelhos On the third row pew, trying to see On the third row pew, trying to see Na terceira linha banco, tentando ver My grandmamma sing In the Sweet By and By My grandmamma sing In the Sweet By and By Minha avó cantar Na doce por e por It wasn't the sweetest soundin' thing It wasn't the sweetest soundin' thing Não foi a coisa mais doce sonante But there's somethin' about when grandmamma sang But there's somethin' about when grandmamma sang Mas há alguma coisa sobre quando avó cantava That moved your feet, stirred something up inside That moved your feet, stirred something up inside Que se movia seus pés, algo agitada por dentro To see her grin from ear to ear To see her grin from ear to ear Para ver seu sorriso de orelha a orelha One thing for sure was very clear One thing for sure was very clear Uma coisa é certa foi muito claro This wasn't just a song This wasn't just a song Esta não foi apenas uma canção It was her life It was her life Foi a sua vida (Chorus:) (Chorus:) (Refrão:) In the sweet by and by In the sweet by and by No doce por e por We shall meet on that beautiful shore We shall meet on that beautiful shore Nós reunir-se que a bela costa In the sweet by and by In the sweet by and by No doce por e por We shall meet on that beautiful shore We shall meet on that beautiful shore Nós reunir-se que a bela costa Now times have changed to say the least Now times have changed to say the least Agora os tempos mudaram para dizer o mínimo My grandmamma's voice, a memory My grandmamma's voice, a memory A voz da minha avó, uma memória Just like the old song said, she's on that shore Just like the old song said, she's on that shore Assim como a canção velha disse, ela está naquela costa And she's looking down on me And she's looking down on me E ela está olhando para mim I hope she's proud of what she sees I hope she's proud of what she sees Espero que ela tem orgulho do que ela vê Cause thanks to her I'm walkin' with the Lord Cause thanks to her I'm walkin' with the Lord Porque graças a ela eu estou andando com o Senhor Oh to hear her once again Oh to hear her once again Oh ouvi-la mais uma vez Wrap herself around that hymn Wrap herself around that hymn Envolva-se em torno desse hino Lord, If I could just go back once more Lord, If I could just go back once more Senhor, Se eu pudesse voltar atrás mais uma vez (Chorus) (Chorus) (Refrão) There's a land that is fairer than day There's a land that is fairer than day Há uma terra que é mais justo do que o dia By faith we can see it afar By faith we can see it afar Pela fé podemos vê-lo longe For the Father waits over the way For the Father waits over the way Porque o Pai espera sobre a maneira To prepare us a dwelling place there To prepare us a dwelling place there Para nos preparar um lugar de habitação não Oh I can hear her singing along Oh I can hear her singing along Oh eu posso ouvi-la cantar (Chorus) (Chorus) (Refrão)
