From Eden to Canaan
So sweet, so fine, so gentle and mild
The soul of an angel, the eyes of a child
Well I do love that woman and she feels the same
She gave someone else her promise I gave someone else my name
Chorus:
And from Eden to Canaan it’s many a long mile
We are only sojourners just here for a while
So sweet, so fine, her hair so black
She smiled as I passed her I stopped and I turned back
I wish I’d kept moving cause who can I blame
She would never break her promise I would not take back my name
Chorus
So sweet, so fine, a tear in her eye
I’ll always remember her words of goodbye
You have danced in my heart and I’ll not be the same
Though I’ll never have her promise and she’ll never have my name
Chorus
