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.
