Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

Our little girl had taken sick one evening
As she walked home from school
And then her deathbed soon claimed her
It made us so sad and so blue
Then she called me close to her bedside
And whispered these words soft and low
Tell mommy to come to me quickly
I want to kiss you both and go
I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in Heaven on high
God has made room for your daughter
Oh mommy and daddy don't cry
Take care of little brother
Tell him I'm gone to rest
I know his little heart is broken
He's all that you have left 
Then she closed eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darlin'
On that bright and peaceful shore
I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in Heaven on high
I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in Heaven on high
