God sent a little girl, an angel to me
Words cant 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 dont let him go
Please dear daddy, dont leave my mommy
you promised me you never would
promise you that Id be good if you dont 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 cant 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, dont hate my mommy
I love her more than anything
so please dont let her go
please dear mommy, dont leave my daddy
you promised me you never would
I promise you that Ill be good if you dont 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 gods family our little babys 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 dont 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
lets meet up in heaven some sweet day
