Dearest Darling
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 through
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
Oh, sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby
