The Sweetest Gift

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One day a mother went to a prison To see and erring but precious son She told the warden how much she loved him It did not matter what he had done [Chorus] She did not bring to him A parole or pardon free She brought no silver (Brought no gold) No pomp nor style (Longed to see) It was a halo bright Sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift A mother's smile [Verse 2] She left a smile You can remember She's gone to heaven From heartaches free Those walls around you Could never change her You were her baby And ere will be [Chorus] She did not bring to him A parole or pardon free She brought no silver (Brought no gold) No pomp nor style (Longed to see) It was a halo bright Sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift A mother's smile [Instrumental Break] [Outro] It was a halo bright Sent down from heaven's light The sweetest gift A mother's smile The sweetest gift A mother's smile
