Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good ,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world .
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 , the busting glass ,
The painful scream that I heard last .

Chorus

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down ,
There were people standing all around .
Something warm flowing through my eyes ,
But somehow I found my baby that night .
I lifted her head , she looked at me and said ;
"Hold me darling 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 .
Chorus
