Baby Girl
The Stanley Brothers · The Stanley Brothers And The Clinch Mountain Boys: The Complete M [2003]
She's my darling little precious baby girl
Like an angel to me and I know that he
Sent from Heaven my little baby girl
She's as sweet as the flowers of springtime
Her blue eyes they sparkle so bright
Just a touch of her little baby hand
Seems to guide my weary footsteps day and night
How those two little arms try to hold me
Her little heart's a blessing to our home
And at night when I'm far far away
As dream of her I'm never all alone
