Oh the moon shines bright tonight on the valley.
It brings back memories of Mother and home.
Where we once played in the days of childhood.
But now she sleeps quiet as the years roll along.

Chorus:

Oh Mother is sleeping at church by the roadside.
She sleeps so quiet as the years roll along.
And some day I know she'll smile and be happy
As we sing together around the White Throne.

Her life here on earth is still in my memory.
She prayed that I'd never, no never do wrong.
And I'll keep trusting in the dear Savior
While Mother's at rest as the years roll along.
