Lyrics:

Mother will you sing to me
Something soft and something sweet
I'm too old for a lullaby
But I'll never be too old to cry,I'll never be too old to cry
Surely you know how I feel
When life just finds you standing still
With a heart that is growing up
With answers that may never come, answers that may never come
And you say surely as the air we breathe
You gotta lay it all at Jesus feet
And only long enough to sing
Nearer my God near to thee, she sang nearer my God to thee
Mother will you sing to me
Something soft and sweet
I'm too old for a lullaby
But I'll never be too old to cry,I'll never be too old to cry
I'll never be too old, to cry
