Sister Mary

Sister Mary, can you tell me, is there any news?
Sister Mary, I’ve been praying, what else can I do?
She’s been gone, seems so long, I want to have her home
Sister Mary, reassure me, help me to go on
Tell me, don’t try to spare me pain
Will she be coming home again?
Sister, I feel so afraid
All my life I cared so much for her
All my life is nothing if I’m left without her
Tell me, why I just can’t let her go
Oh, how I love her, oh, how I miss her
Mister Thompson, now she’s sleeping, the doctor’s been today
There seems to be no change in her, that’s all he had to say
But late last night she spoke to me, she said she loves me so
Mister Thompson, don’t you worry, she’ll soon be well, I know
Tell me, don’t try to spare me pain
Will she be coming home again?
Sister, I feel so afraid
All my life I cared so much for her
All my life is nothing if I’m left without her
Tell me, why I just can’t let her go
Oh, how I love her, oh, how I miss her
Mister Thompson, I’m sorry
Please, don’t cry, don’t cry, please, don’t cry
