Paragraph Lyric
I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test
And now are in bright glory
And are sleeping on the Savior?s breast

They set a good example for me
And they taught me how to pray
Now I truly converted
And walking on the narrow way

I know that if I cannot meet them on high
Then how lonely I will be
For what good is my journey
If I miss out on eternity

I had a real good mother and father
And they surely stood the test
And now they?re in bright glory
And are sleeping on the Savior?s breast
I had a real good mother and father   And they surely stood the test   And now are in bright glory   And are sleeping on the Savior?s breast      They set a good example for me   And they taught me how to pray   Now I truly converted   And walking on the narrow way      I know that if I cannot meet them on high   Then how lonely I will be   For what good is my journey   If I miss out on eternity      I had a real good mother and father   And they surely stood the test   And now they?re in bright glory   And are sleeping on the Savior?s breast
