There's Dust on Mother's Bible

Slow Waltz  D#


Chorus
        D
There's dust on mother's Bible
     G                 D
Its cover's worn with age
    G                 D
And tho it's old and wrinkled
                A      D
Mama's there on every page


The night the angels called her
Mama called me to her side
And handed me her Bible
Said "Son, let God be your guide."


Chorus
I picked up mother's old Bible
To my heart I pressed it tight
And I heard her softly whisper
"Son, I'll meet you on the other side."


Instrumental Break
I kissed my mother's old Bible
And I wiped away the dust.
Oh you never know until she's gone
How you'll miss your mother's love


Chorus
