The Sweetest Gift - The Gibson Brothers

作词：James B. Coates

作曲：James B. Coates

One day a mother went to a prison

To see an eering 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

A parole or pardon free

She brought no silver

No pomp nor style

And you see

It was a halo bright

Sent down from heaven's light

The sweetest gift

A mother's smile

Her boy had driffted

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

Parole or pardon free

She brought no silver

No pomp nor style

And to see

It was a halo bright

Sent down from heaven's light

The sweetest gift

A mother's smile

She left a smile

You can remember

She's gone to heaven

From heartaches free

The bars around you

Could never change her

You were her baby

And there will be

She did not bring to him

A parole or pardon free

She brought no silver

No pomp nor style

And to see

It was a halo bright

Sent down from heaven's light

The sweetest gift

A mother's smile
