Dearest Darling

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Don't you know the Lord above

Created you for me to love

He picked you out from all the rest

Because he knew I loved you best

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Take my hand, take my hand

I once had a heart so warm and true

But now it's gone from me to you

Take care of it like I have done

For you have two and I have none

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Take my hand, take my hand

If I get to Heaven before you do

I'll make a hole to pull you through

If I get to Heaven and you're not there

I'm gonna write your name on the heavenly stair

If you're not there by Judgment Day

Then I know, baby, you're on the way

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

Dearest darlin'

I love you so, I love you so, I love you so

Oh, I love you so
