Long, long ago,
in the days of my childhood,
Fond were the memories
when I stood at mother's knee
Then she placed a kiss on my forehead
Down by the window
where my mother used to pray
Bear me awake on the breeze
of the mornin'
Bear me awake to my old home far away
Let me sit down by the old family Bible,
down by the window
where my mother used to pray.
I remember when she lay
on her pillow,
breathin' a prayer to her
Father in the sky, then she'd
Where He leads, I must follow.
Follow my Savior,
where no tear may dim the eye.
Bear me away on the breeze
of the morning
Bear me away to my old home far away
Let me sit down by the old family Bible
Down by the window
where my mother used to pray
Long since I stood by her
grave on the hillside
Long since they lay my dear
mother in the rain
long since she placed a
kiss on my forehead
down by the window
where my mother used to pray
Bear me away on the breeze
of the mornin'
Bear me away to my old home far away
Let me sit down by the old family Bible
Down by the window
where my mother used to pray you
