When you kneel at mother's grave
Thank her for the love she gave
And then tell her how much you miss her
When you kneel at your dear old mother's grave
When you kneel at mother's grave in some lonely old churchyard
To place a wreath of flowers on her breast
Won't you linger for a prayer and ask her to meet you there
In that land where we'll all find peace and rest
When you kneel at mother's grave
Thank her for the love she gave
And then tell her how much you miss her
When you kneel at your dear old mother's grave
♪
When you kneel at mother's grave, never try to hide the tears
For many are the one she shed for you
And now that she's asleep, don't be ashamed to weep
For there'll never be another one, so true
When you kneel at mother's grave
Thank her for the love she gave
And then tell her how much you miss her
When you kneel at your dear old mother's grave
