A Vision Of Mother
The Stanley Brothers · Too Late Too Cry [2001]
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
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
