[Intro]
Dearest darling, dearest darling
Dearest darling
Oh, baby, take my hand
Baby, take my hand

[Verse 1]
Don't you know that Lord above created you
Just for me to love
Picked you out from all the rest
Because he knew, that I'd love you best

Dearest darling, dearest darling
Dearest darling, take my hand

I once had a heart so civil and true
But now it's gone from me to you
Take care of it like I have done
For you have two hearts and I have none

[Chorus]
Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest, yeah yeah, dearest, yeah yeah
Darling, yeah yeah, darling, yeah yeah
[Bridge]
If I go to Heaven before you do
Try to make a hole and pull you through
I'm going to write your name on the Heavenly stair
If you're not there
If you're not there
