Cherryholmes - No One To Sing For Me lyrics

rate me

I love to hear the songs they’re singing<br />

Of love so fine an earthly thing<br />

But there is none to me so precious<br />

As the songs my mother sings<br />

<br />

When just a child I used to listen<br />

When she would sing of God’s great love<br />

Somehow I knew her voice was blending<br />

With the angels up above<br />

<br />

I know the angels soon will call her<br />

To that home beyond the sea<br />

And then I’ll be so sad and lonesome<br />

With no one to sing for me<br />

<br />

At last her hair has turned to silver<br />

But her sweet voice is pure as gold<br />

She often sings of her bright mansion<br />

Where God will safely keep her soul<br />

<br />

A smile in death to rest forever<br />

She peacefully slumbers beneath her grave<br />

It seems that I can hear her singing<br />

So many thousand miles away
