Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris - The Sweetest Gift

The Sweetest Gift
(J.B. Coats)

One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

Wow! Love it! I've heard this song by the Judds and started strumming and singing it myself with my mom, wonderful song.

I saw Linda in concert in Germany sometime in the late 70s. She entranced the crowd with her beautiful voice. She wore a white flower in her hair. I remember when she and Jerry Brown were a number. Wow, what a life she has led. Linda, thank you for your wonderful contributions.
