a vision of mother
Often my thoughts drift back to childhood To the times when I was free As I played before the fireside 'Round my darling, mother's knee  There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me  Then one day our mother left us Daddy said she'd gone to rest I remember how she loved me As she clutched me to her breast  There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me  Some sweet day I'll meet you, mother Your little boy is coming home To see you as in days of childhood The one you loved and left alone  There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me
