The doctor called me on the
       telephone
He said the news that I have
       for you is bad
Your little girl was brought to
       me today
Sir, I really don't mean to make
       you sad
I really do need to talk to you
Anout the plans that you have
       to make
Would you hurry please
Come speak with me
Before it gets too late

(Chorus)
Whisper in her ear and tell her
       stories
Of a light that shines so bright
       in her new home
Tell her she'll have wings to fly
Like all the angels in the sky
And tell her that she'll never be
      alone
Spend the time that she has left
With her hand tightly in your hand
Kiss her, and say your last farewell
As she leaves --- for God's ---
       promised land

(Musical Break)

A precious little soul was laid to rest
A little angel in a soft pink party
       dress
But I never got to say that last
       goodbye
So in anger
I cursed at God and asked him why
As tears filled my eyes
With my fist clenched tight
I screamed "Oh Lord" I need to know
Would you tell me Lord
What purpose did you have
To come and take my baby home

(Chorus)
Whisper in her ear and tell her
       stories
Of a light that shines so bright
       in her new home
Tell her she'll have wings to fly
Like all the angels in the sky
And tell her that she'll never be
      alone
Spend the time that she has left
With her hand tightly in your hand
Kiss her, and say your last farewell
As she leaves --- for God's ---
       promised land

Kiss her, and say your last farewell
As she leaves --- for God's ---
       promised land
