| god sent a little girl, an angel to me words can’t explain the love i felt |
| when i held her close to me as she grew up and grew apart her mother and i she over heard our angry words |
| then begin to cry |
| please dear mommy, don' t hate my daddy |
| i love him more than anything |
| please don’t let him go please dear daddy, don’t leave my mommy |
| you promised me you never would |
| promise you that i’d be good |
| if you don’t go away |
| mommy, you should make my daddy stay |
| we taught her how to say her prayers, |
| sit up straight and tall |
| and if you can’t say something good, |
| say nothing at all |
| one night behind our bedroom door |
| much to her surprise |
| the words she heard her daddy say |
| made teardrops in her eyes |
| please dear daddy, don’t hate my mommy |
| i love her more than anything |
| please don’t let her go please dear mommy, don’t leave my daddy |
| you promised me you never would |
| i promise you that i’ll be good |
| if you don’t go away |
| daddy you should make my mommy stay |
| it takes my breath to tell the rest, |
| how she left our home |
| to be part of god’s family |
| our little baby’s gone |
| looking back though she was an angel in disguise |
| the last words that she ever said, |
| made teardrops in our eyes. |
| please dear mommy, take care of daddy |
| he loves you more than anything, so please don’t let him go please dear daddy, stay here with mommy |
| i did n0t mean to make you cry |
| i crossed my heart and hoped to die |
| now i must go away |
| let’s meet up in heaven some sweet day. |
