Dear Brother

As I stood by her bedside these last few moments
I lived my childhood again

I thought of your brother and on
your homestead my tears fell like rain.
She left this world with a smile on her face
Whispering the savior's pain

Dear Brother,
Momma left us this morning for a city where this is no pain
As I stood by her bedside these last few moments
I lived my childhood again

I thought of your brother and on your
homestead my tears they fell like rain
She left this world with a smile on her face
Whispering the savior's name

Dear Brother,
Momma left us this morning for a city where this is no pain

(City where there is no pain)

A city where there is no pain

There's a city where there is no pain
There's a city where there is no pain
There's a city where there is no pain

When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep
And when your loved ones all gather to weep
Can you face them and say that with your dying
breath that you are ready to meet the angel of death?
