[00:00:00] The Sweetest Gift - Louise Morrissey

[00:00:00] Written by：James B. Coats

[00:00:12] One day a mother went to a prison

[00:00:17] To see an erring but precious son

[00:00:23] She told the warden how much she loved him

[00:00:29] It did not matter what he had done

[00:00:35] She did not bring him a parole or pardon

[00:00:41] She brought no silver no pomp or style

[00:00:47] It was a halo bright sent down from heaven

[00:00:53] The sweetest gift a mother's smile

[00:01:10] Her boy had wandered

[00:01:13] Far from the far side

[00:01:16] Though she had pleaded

[00:01:19] With him each night

[00:01:22] But not a word did

[00:01:25] She ever utter

[00:01:28] That told her heartaches

[00:01:31] Her smile was bright

[00:01:34] She did not bring to him a parole or pardon

[00:01:40] She brought no silver no pomp or style

[00:01:46] It was a halo bright sent down from heaven

[00:01:52] The sweetest gift a mother's smile

[00:02:09] She left a smile you can remember

[00:02:15] She's gone to heaven from heartaches free

[00:02:21] Those walls around you would never change her

[00:02:27] You were her baby and e'er will be

[00:02:33] She did not bring to him a parole or pardon

[00:02:39] She brought no silver no pomp or style

[00:02:45] It was a halo bright sent down from heaven

[00:02:50] The sweetest gift a mother's smile

[00:02:56] The sweetest gift a mother's smile
