Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: Where We'll Never Grow Old
Lyrics for Album: The Best of Jim Reeves: 20 Gospel Favorites [IMPORT] [2002]



(James C. Moore)



I have heard of a land

On the faraway strand

This a beautiful home of the soul

Built by Jesus on high

There we never shall die

This the land where we'll never grow old.



Never grow old, never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old.



--- Instrumental ---



When our work here is done

And the life's crown is won

And our troubles and trials are o'er

All our sorrow will end

And our voices will blend

With the loved ones who've gone on before.



Never grow old, never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old...


About Where We'll Never Grow Old

Jim Reeves' "Where We'll Never Grow Old" stands as a poignant testament to his mastery of the romantic ballad, blending his signature croon with a deep emotional resonance that defined the Nashville sound. Recorded during the height of his career, the track exemplifies Reeves' ability to convey longing and melancholy through subtle vocal inflections rather than dramatic delivery. The song's enduring popularity stems from its universal theme of unfulfilled love and the passage of time, themes that Reeves articulated with a warmth that made the heartache feel intimate and personal. Released on a compilation album celebrating his gospel roots, this recording showcases the versatility of Reeves' vocal style, which seamlessly transitioned between country and pop genres. While often associated with his secular hits, the track highlights the spiritual undercurrents present in his earlier work, reflecting a life dedicated to both church and concert stages. The composition remains a staple in collections of classic country music, appreciated for its timeless melody and Reeves' impeccable phrasing, ensuring its place in the annals of American musical history alongside his most famous duets and solo performances.
