The Lord took her away from me

She's gone to Heaven so I got to be good

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

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 couldn't 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

Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be?

The Lord took her away from me

She's gone to Heaven, so I got to be good

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down

There were people standing all around

Something warm falling 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'd miss

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 got to be good

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh (hey)

Ooh ooh

Oh ooh

Oh ooh

Oh ooh, yeah

Oh
