| 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 thru.
|
| 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...
