The Sweetest Gift Lyrics
The Sweetest Gift - Louise Morrissey
Written by：James B. Coats
One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
She did not bring him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven
The sweetest gift a mother's smile
Her boy had wandered
Far from the far side
Though she had pleaded
With him each night
But not a word did
She ever utter
That told her heartaches
Her smile was bright
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven
The sweetest gift a mother's smile
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you would never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven
The sweetest gift a mother's smile
The sweetest gift a mother's smile
