The Sweetest Gift lyrics

by

The Judds



[Verse 1]
One day a mother, come to a prison
To see an erring, but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done

[Chorus]
She did not bring to him (Bring to him)
Parole or pardon (Pardon free)
She brought no silver (Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style (Him to see)
It was a halo (Halo bright)
Sent down from Heaven (Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift (A mother's smile)

[Verse 2]
Her boy had wandered 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

[Chorus]
She did not bring to him (Bring to him)
Parole or pardon (Pardon free)
She brought no silver (Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style (Him to see)
It was a halo (Halo bright)
Sent down from Heaven (Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift (A mother's smile)
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to Heaven, from heartache's free
Them bars around you will never change her
He was her baby, and there will be

[Chorus]
She did not bring to him (Bring to him)
Parole or pardon (Pardon free)
She brought no silver (Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style (Him to see)
It was a halo (Halo bright)
Sent down from heaven (Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift (A mother's smile)

[Outro]
It was a halo (Halo bright)
Sent down from heaven (Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
