When it's decoration day up in Heaven
There's a bouquet I'm longing to see
There's a flower somewhere in this bouquet
And means all the world to me Now, tonight the old home place's lonely
Since Mother has been called away
And I know I can never more see her
'Til we meet on that decoration day When it's decoration day up in Heaven
There's a bouquet I'm longing to see
There's a flower somewhere in this bouquet
And means all the world to me I remember the night the angels called her
To live on that beautiful shore
It left us so lonely here without her
It can never be home anymore
