First
Verse
Mother dear, I want my Papa, Why did you
send him away? For you know I love him dearly And I want him
to come home and stay; You must not be angry with him Mama
Every night I long for him and pray, He'll come if he knows
we're lonely Surely come and kiss your tears away.
Second
Verse
Just outside a little cottage Stands the
Father all alone, He has heard his baby pleading For her darling
Papa to come home; Softly, gently he call "Come my Angel,"
With a sob he folds her to his breast, I will love your Mam
always Little golden heart, be now at rest.
Chorus
And a little child shall lead them, Lead
them gently on their way, And a little child shall teach them,
How to love more dearly every day, And she'll bring them close
together So they'll ever care to stay, She's an angel sent
from Heaven And will lead them gently on their way.
