Linda Ronstadt - The sweetest gift

One day a ^Cmother, went to a ^Cprison. To see an ^Gerring, but precious ^Cson. She told the ^Cwarden, how much she ^Cloved him. It did not ^Gmatter, what he had ^Cdone.

She did not ^Cbring, a parole or ^Cpardon. (bring to him, pardon plea). She brought no ^Gsilver, no pomp or ^Cstyle. (brought no gold, none to see). It was a ^Chalo, sent down from ^Fheaven. (halo bright, heaven's light). The sweetest ^Cgift, a ^Gmother's ^Csmile.

She left a ^Csmile, you can re^Cmember. She's gone to ^Gheaven, from heartaches ^Cfree. Those walls a^Cround you, could never ^Cchange her. You were her ^Gbaby, and e'er will ^Cbe.

She did not ^Cbring, a parole or ^Cpardon. (bring to him, pardon plea). She brought no ^Gsilver, no pomp or ^Cstyle. (brought no gold, none to see). It was a ^Chalo, sent down from ^Fheaven. (halo bright, heaven's light). The sweetest ^Cgift, a ^Gmother's ^Csmile.
