Streets of Gold, Verga's Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some mornings feel a little still The quiet fills the room But faith reminds us through it all That love outlives the tomb A gentle voice still echoes near Like sunlight breaking through [Chorus] She's dancing where the streets are gold That Electric Slide across the floor No more sickness, no more pain to hold Just peace forevermore My love, where are you, I still say But I know you're smiling heaven's way [Verse 2] She fell ill out in Kankakee Just singing for her Mama's day At sixty-two the storm rolled in But Lord, it couldn't steal her faith For fifteen years I held her hand Clezell stood right there beside his Verga Every step along the way [Chorus] She's dancing where the streets are gold That Electric Slide across the floor No more sickness, no more pain to hold Just peace forevermore My love, where are you, I still say But I know you're smiling heaven's way [Bridge] She loved those country rides for something sweet Birthday candles glowing every year She lifted everybody that she'd meet And Clezell, she's still lifting from up here [Verse 3] That smile, oh Lord, that beautiful smile It made you want to help the world A church woman through and through She showed what faith and love are for From Kankakee to Minneapolis Verga's light touched every soul And Clezell, you carried her with grace You helped her finish whole [Chorus] She's dancing where the streets are gold That Electric Slide across the floor No more sickness, no more pain to hold Just peace forevermore My love, where are you, I still say I know you're smiling heaven's way [Outro] So rest now, Verga, rest in peace Your love will never fade Clezell still feels you close In every prayer he's prayed Since you're walking the streets of gold Clezell will never be the same But His Love will always remain the same
