Sister Mary, can you tell me, is there any use?
Sister Mary, I've been praying, what else can I do?
She's been gone, seems so long, I want to have her home
Sister Mary, reassure me, help me to go on

Tell me, don't try to spare me pain
Will she be coming home again?
Sister, I feel so afraid

All my life I cared so much for her 
All my life is nothing if I'm left without her
Tell me, why I just can't let her go
Oh, how I love her, oh, how I miss her

Monsieur Thompson, there she's sleeping, the doctor's here today 
There seems to be no change in her that's all he had to say
But late last night she spoke to me she said she loves me so 
Monsieur Thompson, don't you worry she'll soon be well, I know

Tell me, don't try to spare me pain
Will she be coming home again?
Sister, I feel so afraid

All my life I cared so much for her 
All my life is nothing if I'm left without her
Tell me, why I just can't let her go
Oh, how I love her, oh, how I miss her

Monsieur Thompson, I'm sorry
Please, don't cry, don't cry, please, don't cry
