Bear Me Away Lyrics - Follow The Music - Alice Gerrard

Long, long ago in the days of my childhood 

Fond were the memories 

When I stood at mother's knee 

Then she placed a kiss on my forehead 

Down my the window where my mother used to play 

Chorus: 

Bear Me Away 

On the breeze of the morning 

Bear Me Away 

To my old home far away 

Let me sit down 

By the old family Bible 

Down by the window where 

My mother used to pray 

I remember as she lay on her pillow 

Breathing a prayer to her 

Father in the sky 

Then she said, "Where He leads I must follow- 

Follow my Savior where no tear may dim the eye 

Chorus: 

Bear Me Away 

On the breeze of the morning 

Bear Me Away 

To my old home far away 

Let me sit down 

By the old Family Bible 

Down by the window where 

My mother used to pray 

Long since I stood 

By her grave on the hillside 

Long since they laid my dear mother 

In the grave 

Long since she placed 

A kiss on my forehead 

Down by the window 

Where my mother used to pray. 

Chorus: 

Bear Me Away Let me sit down 

On the breeze of the morning By the old family Bible 

Bear Me Away Down by the window 

To my old home far away Where my mother used to pray
