Way back in the hills,
|
as a boy I was once wondered.
|
Buried deep in her grave,
|
lies the one that I love.
|
She was called from this earth,
|
a jewel for Heaven.
|
More precious than diamonds,
|
more precious than gold.
|
|
-CHORUS-
|
A jewel here on earth,
|
A jewel in Heaven.
|
She'll brighten the kingdom
|
around God's great throne.
|
May the angels have peace.
|
God bless her in Heaven.
|
They've broken my heart,
|
and they've left me to roam.
|
|
When a girl of sixteen,
|
we courted each other.
|
She promised someday
|
to become my sweet wife.
|
I brought her a ring to wear on her finger.
|
But the angels they called her
|
to heaven one night.
|
|
A jewel here on earth,
|
A jewel in Heaven.
|
She'll brighten the kingdom
|
around God's great throne.
|
May the angels have peace.
|
God bless her in Heaven.
|
They've broken my heart,
|
and they've left me to roam.
|
|
This world has it's wealth,
|
it's trials and troubles.
|
Mother earth holds her treasures
|
of diamonds and gold.
|
But she can't hold the soul
|
of one precious jewel.
|
She's resting in peace
|
in that Heavenly home.
|
|
A jewel here on earth,
|
A jewel in Heaven.
|
She'll brighten the kingdom
|
around God's great throne.
|
May the angels have peace.
|
God bless her in Heaven.
|
They've broken my heart,
|
and they left me to roam.
