The Sweetest Gift Teclado

	  
Verse 

A                       
One day a mother went to a prison 
          E7                   A 
To see an erring but precious son 
A     
She told the warden how much she loved him 
           E7                 A 
It did not matter what he had done 


A 
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon 
               E7                 A 
She brought no silver, no pomp or style 
                                    D 
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light 
             A     E7         A                 
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember 
              E7                     A 
She's gone to Heaven from heartaches free 

Those walls around you could never change her 
            E7                  A 
You were her baby and e'er will be
