What beauty lies in little bits of cloth
All pieced together, here in lines down and across
This life she made gathering up each part
The artist telling the secrets within her heart
My mother's quilt lies on my bed
A legacy to the life she led
So much warmth and comfort remain with it still
All sewn up, here in my mother's quilt
A long time gone from my childhood home
My greatest treasure, here in this room, hand-sewn
Those happy homes beneath sunny skies
The joy and love abound; they always were her design
My mother's quilt lies on my bed
A legacy to the life she led
So much warmth and comfort remain with it still
All sewn up here in my mother's quilt
So many nights of golden slumber and peaceful dreams
So much love in every thread, every seam
My mother's quilt lies on my bed
A legacy to the life she led
So much warmth and comfort remain with it still
All sewn up here in my mother's quilt
All sewn up here in my mother's quilt
