It may
be too late,
it may be too late,
It may be too late to see them anymore
So long, long ago, I left my old home
I left dad and mother,
I left them all alone
Today, Mother O, we're both up in years,
And as I read her letter,
my eyes were filled with tears.
It may be too late, it may be too late,
It may be too late to see them anymore.
I know it can't be long
until they pass away,
For now they're old and feeble,
their hair has turned to gray.
Oh, how my heart is achin',
oh, how my soul does long
To see my dad and mother
before God calls them home
It may be too late, it may be too late
It may be too late to see them any
more
At daybreak of tomorrow,
I'll journey on my way
Back to the scenes of childhood,
back where I used to play
I know they'll be so happy,
and I will be so glad
To have a grand reunion
with mother and my dad
It may be too late, it may be too late
It may be too late
It see them anymore
Each day the sun is sinkin'
just at the close of day
I kneel by my bedside,
I bow my head and pray
I ask the Lord to keep them
until I'm home once more
I know that they still love me
just as they did before
It may be too late, it may be too late
It may be too late to see them anymore
It may be too late,
it may be too late,
it may be too late to see them anymore.
you
