What Will It Be Like Lyrics - Merle Haggard

He spoke of a morning and an uncloudy day 

With no sorrow and hardship to bear 

He said that where I am you also shall stay 

What will it be like to be there? 

He spoke of a life where we'd never grow old 

In a city he's gone to prepare 

He said that the streets would be paved with pure gold 

What will it be like to be there? 

What will it be like to be there? 

What will it be like to be there? 

Forever and ever in heaven so fair 

What will it be like to be there? 

He spoke of a trumpet when the dead would all rise 

And we wonder how long it will be 

It's written the scales will all fall from our eyes 

And the face of the master we'll see. 

He spoke of forever where love never dies 

And the souls of our loved ones we'll see 

Where the demons can't harm us and are met with demise 

How beautiful Heaven must be. 

What will it be like to be there? 

What will it be like to be there? 

Forever and ever in heaven so fair 

What will it be like to be there?
