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
So 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 doors
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
So 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
And 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 not mean to make you cry
I crossed my heart and hoped to die
Now I must go away
And let's meet up in heaven some sweet day
