Lyrics Cherryholmes

Cherryholmes

Mansions Of Kings

Daughter, dear daughter, come sit by my side

While the prairie is bloomin' I fear for my time

I've seen my great crossing asleep in my dreams

Hold my hand, little loved one, and listen to me

Daughter, dear daughter, when I was young

My dreams were like diamonds, I'd hold them and run

But treasures on earth are empty and cold

Your fortune will find you in the worth of your soul

Chorus

When I get to heaven all the angels will sing

And there I will dwell in the mansions of kings

They buried my mother ten years ago spring

On the wind covered prairie the morning dove sings

I wander this earth and fear not my home

In the stillness of evening I hear her song

Chorus
