I’ll be with you to the end of the world,
I’ll be near you, I will love you.
If you need me only call,
And I’ll be there by your side
And I’ll bring peace, peace, peace
Yes, I’ll bring peace, peace peace
I’ll bring you peace, peace, peace,
Peace unto you.
I will love you to the end of your days;
I’ll be near you, I’ll watch o’er you,
And when sorrows overwhelm you
Only call me, I’ll be there.
And I’ll bring peace, peace, peace,
Yes, I’ll bring peace, peace peace,
I’ll bring you peace, peace, peace,
Peace unto you.
And when death comes at the end of the world
I’ll be near you, you’ll be near me.
And you’ll see me and you’ll touch me
And you’ll be here by my side
And there’ll be peace peace peace
And there’ll be peace, peace, peace
Yes, there’ll be peace, peace, peace
Peace unto you.
