My mommy lives up in the sky....

In Graces(?) world stood a little lost girl who was crying alone one night
When an officer strong quickly stepped from throng to comfort the poor little tyke
Where does momma live child? the officer smiled I'll take you to her so don't cry
He patted her head and the little girl said My mommy lives up in the sky

My mommy lives up in the sky
All the angels can show you the way
take me there too and I'll show her to you
she has the most beautiful face
my daddy was lost on a ship
when I was a wee baby so high
take me tonight to the city so bright
where my mommy lives up in the sky

When the officer heard each sad little word
a tear kissed his kind blue eyes
he thought of the day not long passed away
when his own mommy moved to the sky


*My grandmother used to sing this to me when I was a little boy. This is the best I can remember. If anyone knows it I'd appreciate any info.
