[Intro]
[Verse 1]
On a dark stor
my night the a
ngels called m
other
The love that
we had shared
for such a sho
rt while
She called us
around and sai
d she was leav
ing
Then closing h
er eyes, she w
ent with a smi
le
[Chorus]
Mother's at re
st in a loneso
me old graveya
rd
On a hill far
away there sta
nds her white
tomb
With the grass
covered o'er,
seems so negl
ected
When the sprin
g seasons come
, sweet flower
s will bloom
[Verse 2]
I'll never for
get the love m
other gave us
As children we
played around
our old home
I know her rew
ard is a mansi
on in heaven
While her chil
dren on earth
all scattered
and gone
[Chorus]
Mother's at re
st in a loneso
me old graveya
rd
On a hill far
away there sta
nds her white
tomb
With the grass
covered o'er,
seems so negl
ected
When the sprin
g seasons come
, sweet flower
s will bloom
