Johnny Ray Paths Of Paradise Lyrics

Paths Of Paradise Lyrics

Last night I dreamed

I walked along the paths of paradise

And only
God could tell you

What I've seen



But when I woke my heart
was sad

For then I realized

The paradise for me 

Was still a
dream



But now I know that I'm the one

Who journeys there to
rest

And every man must find

His way alone



But if a
man can prove his try

To do his very best

The line of life

Will lead the stranger home



So when temptation blinds my
eyes

Lord I need to know

Send down the winds to beat me

Come
and tell me I must go



So when at last these days of life

Are
numbered few for me

And fear and pain

As she left from my eyes



I'll bow my head and say a prayer

Wherever I may be

To
walk again

The paths of paradise
