Of all the tragic scenes in life,
there's one I can't forget.
The memory of a little girl
still lingers with me yet.
The sad remarks I heard her say
were more than I could stand
While she stood sadly pleading,
Let me have another look at mother,
Oh, let me have just one more look
Her little heart was breakin'
For one last look at mother please,
She didn't seem to understand
Her blindin' tears were fallin',
oh how my heart did grieve
Her little friends were standing
by their hearts in sad despair
Each time she called to mommy,
oh please don't leave me here
Her daddy slowly picked her up
and whispered words to her
was more than he could bear
She held him tightly in her arms,
these words I heard her say
Oh, Daddy, we will miss her,
will she come back some day?
Let me have another look at Mother.
let me have just one more look.
Her little heart was breaking through tears,
For one last look at mother
when they closed her inside.
