A
One day a mother come to a prison
          E7                  A
To see an erring but precious son.

She told the warden how much she loved him
           E7                 A
It did not matter what he had done.

Chorus:
A           
She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
               E7                                  A
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for him to see)
                                           D
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven, (heaven's light)
             A       E7       A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.     


Her boy had wandered far from the farside,
Though she had pleaded with him each night.
But not a word did she ever utter;
That told her heartache, Her smile was bright.

She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for 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 her heartache's free.
Them walls around you will never change her;
He was her baby and e'er will be.

She did not bring (bring to him) a parole or pardon. (pardon plea)
She brought no silver (brought no gold) no pomp or style. (for him to see)
It was a halo (halo bright) sent down from heaven, (heaven's light)
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.
