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

  so 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 I know 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 not 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
