We were out on a date in my daddy's car.

We hadn't driven very far.

There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled the engine was dead.

I couldn't stop. So I swerved to the right.

I'll never forget the sound that night.

The screaming tires, bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last.

oh where oh where can my baby be?

The lord took her away from me.

She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.

So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up the rain was pourin' down.

There were people standing all around.

Something warm runnin' through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night.

I lifted her head. She looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin' just a little
while."

I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.

I found the love that I knew I had missed.

Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.

I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh where oh where can my baby be?

The Lord took her away from me.

She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.

So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
