You're the fastest talking southern girl.
Well, I'm not a southern girl.
[G] I'm from the Far East.
Well, Far East of Tennessee, [Ab] anyway.
You know, I'm really [N] glad that we had this time to spend, and I think it's only fair that I get to make a request.
My mama used to sing a song called The Sweetest Gift when she was a little girl,
and she loved the record that you and Linda had on it, and she asked me if I'd have you sing it today.
So would you do [Bb] that?
Sure, this [C] is for your mama.
Right?
For mine.
One day a noble went to a priestess
She's the [G] youngest, [C] most precious of all
And told the warden how much she loved him
It [G] did not matter [C] what he had done
She did not bring to him a crown of pardon
She brought no [G] sacred gold [C] or silver to see
It was a halo sent [F] down from heaven
Like the [C] sweetest gift [G] a [C] mother's smile
Can
[F] [C]
[G] [C] I sing one now?
She left a smile
You can remember
[G] She's gone to heaven
From [C] heartache free
Those walls around you
Could never change her
You [G] were her baby And [C] everything
She did not bring to him a crown of pardon
She [G] brought no sacred gold or [C] silver to see
It was a halo sent [F] down from heaven
Like the [C] sweetest gift [G] a [C] mother's smile
She did not bring to him a crown of pardon
She [G] brought no sacred gold [C] or silver to see
It was a halo sent [F] down from heaven
Like the [C] sweetest gift [G] a [C] mother's smile
The sweetest [G] gift a mother's smile
