The Sweetest Gift

A
One day a mother went to a prison
          E7                   A
To see an erring but precious son
A
She told the warden how much she loved him
           E7                 A
It did not matter what he had done

A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
               E7                 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
                                    D
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
             A     E7         A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember
              E7                     A
She's gone to Heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
            E7                  A
You were her baby and e'er will be

A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
               E7                 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
                                    D
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
             A     E7         A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
               E7                 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
                                    D
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
             A     E7         A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
             A     E7         A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
