Verse 1
I'd sure love to meet my mother, she's gone on before,
shake hands with the elders the twenty and the four;
in that righteous place I know I'll see my Savior's face,
I'll trade a lifetime, (I'll trade a lifetime for just one day in paradise).

Verse 2
I sure would love to meet my loved ones,
they told me they would meet me there,
where there'll be no more dark clouds,
everyday will be bright and fair.
I'll walk the streets of gold in that homeland of the soul,
I'll trade a lifetime, (I'll trade a lifetime for just one day in paradise).
I'll trade a lifetime, (I'll trade a lifetime for just one day in paradise).
I'll trade a lifetime, (I'll trade a lifetime for just one day in paradise) .
