We were out on a date
in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far.
there in the road
straight ahead,
a car was stalled,
the engine was dead.

I couldnt stop,
so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget
the sound that night.
the screamin' tires,
the bustin' glass,
the painful scream
that I heard last.

When I woke up
the rain was pourin' down.
There were people
standin' all around.
Something warm flowing
through my eyes,
but somehow I found
my baby that night.
I lifted her head,
she looked at me
and said,
hold me darling,
just a little while.
I held her close,
I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love
that I knew I had missed.

Well now she's gone.
even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love,
my life,
that night.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
the lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven,
so I've got to be good.
so I can see my baby
when I leave this world.
