Dearest darling, dearest darling

Dearest darling, aey ohh

Don't you know the Lord above created you

Just for me to love

Picked you out from all the rest

Because he knew, I loved you best

Dearest darling, dearest darling

Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand

I once had a heart so thrill and true

But now it's gone from me to you

Take care of it like I have done

For you have two hearts and I have none

Dearest oh, oh, oh, oh, darling

Dearest darling

Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah

Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah

Darling, yeah yeah, darling, yeah yeah

If I get to Heaven before you do

I'll try to make a hole and pull you through

Woh, dearest, dearest

Dearest, dearest, ah

If I go to Heaven and you not there

I'm going to write your name on the Heavenly stair

If you aren't there by turn of day

Then I know baby you went the wrong way

Woh, dearest, dearest

Woh, dearest, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh oh sweet baby

Oh sweet baby
