My mother sang this version (slightly different)

An orphan boy lay dying
With strangers all around.
His little heart was sighing
For love he never found.
They told him of the stories
Of the angels up above,
And whispered low, recalling memories
Of his mothers love.

Will they love me up in heaven,
Like my mother used to do?
Will they know that I am only,
Just an orphan boy — and lonely?
When I greet the shining angels
Up above the sky so blue,
Will they love me up in heaven,
Like my mother used to do?

An orphan boy lay dying
With strangers all around
And his little heart was sighing
For love he never found
they told him the stories
of the angels up above
and slowly recalling them of his mothers love
will they love me up in heaven like my mother used to do
will they know that I am lonely, just an orphan boy so lonely
when I see those shinning angels in the heavens up above
will they love me up in heaven like my mother used to do

My grandmother said her father used to sing this to her as a child too! I'm searching the web for it! Here's they lyrics she told me...


An orphan boy lay dying 
With strangers all around
And his little heart was sighing 
For love he never found
Till they told him the story
Telling of a mothers love
Then he whispered love
Recalling memories of his mothers love

Will they love me up in heaven as my mother used to do?
Will they know that I am only just an orphan boy so lonely?
When I reach the shining angels up above the world so blue, will they love me up in heaven as my mother used to do?

I'm looking for a song sung by the primitive quartet called Thank God For The Feel

My late dad used to sing this to us, but I can't remember all of the words

Does anyone know a song which contains the lyrics "Will they love me up in heaven like my Mother used to do"

Thanks
