Give My Baby A Kiss This Morning
When I woke up this morning
and started my morning prayer,
I thought about my little boy
and to the maker I plead there.
"Give my baby a kiss this morning,
Give my baby a kiss at noon.
Give my baby a kiss in the evening,
and tell him I'll be home soon.
Tell my baby how much I love him.
Kiss my baby for me tonight,
Tell my baby how much I miss him.
and tell him not to cry.
Tell him Mommy dreams of him
and with him she'll soon be joining...
and, God, if you don't mind
Give my baby a kiss this morning."
