Please Dear Mommy

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.
