1. It may be a brother with whom I did play,
E'er the death angel had called him away,
Somewhere in glory so happy and free,
Watching and waiting this moment for me.

Chorus:
Someone is waiting in heaven for me,
Somebody's face i am longing to see,
Someone just over life's troublesome sea,
Is watching and waiting for me.

2. It may be a sister, the charm of our home,
Whom in bright spring time, thro' meadows we roamed,
Tho' now up in heav'n bright mansions to see,
Watching and waiting this moment for me.

3. It may be a father whom I love so dear,
Whose kindest provisions relieved me of care,
Somewhere with angels beyond death's cold sea.
Watching and waiting this moment for me.

4. It may be a mother who rock'd me to sleep,
Like fretful infants I sometimes would weep,
Now she's in heaven from trials all free,
I know she's watching this moment for me.
