The Sweetest Gift Lyrics - The Judds

One day a mother, come 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 to him 

(Bring to him) 

Parole or pardon 

(Pardon free) 

She brought no silver 

(Brought no gold) 

No pomp nor style 

(Him to see) 

It was a halo 

(Halo bright) 

Sent down from heaven 

(Heaven's light) 

The sweetest gift 

(A mother's smile) 

Her boy had wandered far from the far side 

Though she had pleaded with him each night 

But not a word did she ever utter 

That told her heartaches her smile was bright 

She did not bring to him 

(Bring to him) 

Parole or pardon 

(Pardon free) 

She brought no silver 

(Brought no gold) 

No pomp nor style 

(Him to see) 

It was a halo 

(Halo bright) 

Sent down from heaven 

(Heaven's light) 

The sweetest gift 

(A mother's smile) 

She left a smile you can remember 

She's gone to heaven from heartache's free 

Them bars around you will never change her 

He was her baby an error will be 

She did not bring to him 

(Bring to him) 

Parole or pardon 

(Pardon free) 

She brought no silver 

(Brought no gold) 

No pomp nor style 

(Him to see) 

It was a halo 

(Halo bright) 

Sent down from heaven 

(Heaven's light) 

The sweetest gift 

(A mother's smile) 

It was a halo bright 

Sent down from heaven's light 

The sweetest gift 

A mother's smile
