The Sweetest Gift Lyrics

    One day a mother
    Come 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 to him
    (bring to him)
    Parole or pardon
    (pardon free)
    She brought no silver
    (brought no gold)
    No pomp nor style
    (him to see)
    It was a halo
    (halo bright)
    Sent down from heaven
    (heaven's light)
    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

    (repeat chorus)

    She left a smile
    You can remember
    She's gone to heaven
    From heartache's free
    Them bars around you
    Will never change her
    He was her baby
    An error will be

    (repeat chorus)

    It was a halo bright
    Sent down from heaven's light
    The sweetest gift
    A mother's smile
