Dearest Darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Don't you know

The Lord above

Created you

Just for me to love

Picked you out

From all the rest

Because He knew I loved you best

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling take my hand take my hand

I once had a heart

So trill and true

But now it's gone

From me to you

Take care of it

Like I have done

For you have two hearts

And I have none

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

If I get to heaven

Before you do

I'll try to make a hole

And pull you thru

Dearest dearest dearest

If I go to heaven

And you not there

I'm gonna write your name

On the heavenly stair

If you aren't there

By turn of day

Then I know baby

You know the way

Dearest dearest dearest

O sweet baby o sweet baby
