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

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
