Dearest Darling

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling

Don't you know
The Lord above
Created you
Just for me to love
Picked you out
From all the rest
Because He knew, I loved you best

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand

I once had a heart
So trill and true
But now it's gone
From me to you
Take care of it
Like I have done
For you have two hearts
And I have none

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling

If I get to heaven
Before you do
I'll try to make a hole
And pull you through

Dearest... dearest... dearest...

If I go to heaven
And you not there
I'm gonna write your name
On the heavenly stair
If you aren't there
By turn of day
Then I know baby
You know the way

Dearest... dearest... dearest...
O sweet baby, o sweet baby...
