One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
She did not bring him (him) a parole or pardon
She brought no silver (brought no silver), no pomp or style (pomp or style)
It was a halo (bright) sent down from Heaven's (light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to Heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be
She did not bring him (him) a parole or pardon
She brought no silver (brought no silver), no pomp or style (pomp or style)
It was a halo (bright) sent down from Heaven's (light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She did not bring him (him) a parole or pardon
She brought no silver (brought no silver), no pomp or style (pomp or style)
It was a halo (bright) sent down from Heaven's (light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
