A
One day a mother come to a prison
E7 A
To see an erring but precious son.
She told the warden how much she loved him
E7 A
It did not matter what he had done.
Chorus:
A
She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
E7 A
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for him to see)
D
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven, (heaven's light)
A E7 A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
Her boy had wandered far from the farside,
Though she had pleaded with him each night.
But not a word did she ever utter;
That told her heartache, Her smile was bright.
She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for him to see)
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven, (heaven's light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
She left a smile you can remember.
She's gone to heaven her heartache's free.
Them walls around you will never change her;
He was her baby and e'er will be.
She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for him to see)
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven, (heaven's light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
