Lyrics

When I Saw Your Face

When I saw your face,
so peaceful there inside
I knew that your life had been full of smiles
Then I saw your face
deep down inside
And I knew your life had been wholly satisfied
Cause you always kept on going
Through the tears or through the lies
You always kept on going
To stay wholly satisfied.

So what is to learn
from a man who dies:
With the peace on his face
and wholly satisfied?

That you just gotta keep on going
Whether your cryin' or somebody dies.
Don't give up and become the weary, gotta
Stay satisfied.

May there be peace upon my face when I die.
May there be peace upon my face when I die.

Inst.

So - that is what I learned
From a man who died
With the peace on his face
and Wholly satisfied.

That you just gotta keep on goin'
Whether your crying or in your lies
You've just gotta keep on goin' to
stay wholly satisfied.

May there be peace upon your face when you die
May there be peace upon your face when you die.
