Mom met Dad when she was 12 years old
Who knew then there’d be a story told
He raised his birds on the roof above
Those Brooklyn kids they fell in love
It’s yesterday when Mom talks out loud
60 years still a bride so proud
We lost Dad a couple years ago
He came to Christ just in time to go
Chorus
I wish that I could ease my Mama’s pain
He was the only man she knew
I tell her and she believes it too
He’s safe in the arms of Jesus
Dad worked late cause cash was tight
I hear him quietly come in at night
I’d make believe that I was asleep
Then I’d feel him kiss me on the cheek
He filled the room such a gentle man
With principles I now understand
He used to watch those old western flicks
The good guy was the way he lived
Chorus
Oh I wish I could ease my own pain
I loved him more than he knew
My Mom tells me and I know it too
He’s safe in the arms of Jesus
Bridge
The day is near when death will be no more
The Lord will wipe every tear away from our eyes
We’ll never
We’ll never have to say goodbye
I know we’ll all be together again
Eternity is just round the bend
When I kneel at my Daddy’s stone
I know he’s safe in the good Lord’s home
Chorus
Oh I know we’re gonna feel the pain
It doesn’t mean our faith is gone
We just miss him I know he lives on
Safe in the arms of Jesus
