But she told me I remember
Onec while sitting on her knee
That the angels never wearyt
Watching over her and me
And that if we're good (and mama
told me just the same before)
They will let us into heaven
when they see us at the door.
They will let us into heaven
when they see us at the door.
There I know I shall be happy
And will always want to stay,
I shall love to hear the singing
I shall love the endless day
I shall love to look at Jesus
I shall love him more and more
And I'll gather water lillies
For the angel at the door.
And I'll gather water lillies
For the angel at the door.
There will be none but the holy
I shall know no more of sin
But I'll see mama and Nellie
For I know he'll let them in,
But I'll have to tell the angel
When I meet him at the door
That he must excuse my papa
'Cause he couldn't leave the store
That he must excuse my papa
'Cause he couldn't leave the store
Nellie says, that may be I shall
Very soon be called away
If papa was only ready
I should like to go today
But if I should go before him
To that world of light and joy
Then I guess he'd want to come to Heaven
To see his little boy.
Then I guess he'd want to come to Heaven
To see his little boy.
