Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]One day a mother went to a prison
to see a [G]man.
But precious [C]son,
she told the warden
how much she loved him.
It did not mat[G]ter what he [C]had done.
She did not bring a broad garden.
He brought no son, [G]no mom,
or daugh[C]ter.
It was a hail of bright sandalwood [F]petals,
The sweetest [C]gift, [G]a mother's [C]smile.[G][C]
She left a smile you can remember
She's [G]gone to heaven from
heartache's [C]creep
Those walls around you could
never change you,
you were her [G]baby and there will [C]be,
she'd in the dreams of her own [G]heart.
[C]It was a hail of bright suns
down from [F]heaven's sky.
The sweetest [C]gift, a [G]mother's [C]smile.
The sweetest gift, a [G]mother's smile.
