[Verse 1] God gave me this precious little angel Her name was Laura Lynn Soft and tender she was one of God's innocent little souls And she was sweet as she could be She closed her eyes and went to sleep one night And the angels took her home They told me she was only a loan for a little awhile But I was never ready to let her go [Chorus] Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Sweet as she could be Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Gone too soon for me She's resting in the arms of the angels She'll never feel pain again When I leave this old world I want to see my little girl again [Verse 2] She is with my mother now In the land of glory I will always remember her big blue eyes And long dark hair, skin soft as silk And I'll never forget her little smile Sometimes you find yourself asking why But God only has that answer We may never know [Pre-Chorus] God only picks the very best rose on the vine Preparing what may come next They say time will help and it will ease a broken heart But I don't think mine will ever mend [Chorus] Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Sweet as she could be Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Gone too soon for me She's resting in the arms of the angels She'll never feel pain again When I leave this old world I want to see my little girl again [Bridge] When you see her room bare And the empty rocking chair Just breaks your heart Children should never go before you But she is safely in the arms of the angels God gave me this precious little angel Her name was Laura Lynn [Final Chorus] Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Sweet as she could be Laura Lynn, Laura Lynn Gone too soon for me Her troubles are over, ours have only just begun I could never ask for her to go through it again I don't think my heart could bear the pain She closed her eyes and went to sleep one night And the angels took her home And the angels took her home
