The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled the
engine was dead.
I couldn't stop. So I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last.
Oh where oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
When I woke up the rain was pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm runnin' through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head. She looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin' just a little while."
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life that night.
Oh where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I have to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms for squezing and please I'm the one that loves you so.
Oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so.
So forget the other boys because my love is real.
Come off your battlefield.
Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Yea lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms for squezing and please cuse that's the way it has to be.
The weapons you're using are hurting me bad.
But someday you're going to retreat.
Cause my love baby is the truest you've ever had.
A soldier of love that's hard to beat.
Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms to hold me tight. Baby I don't wanna fight no more. (x2)
Oh baby, lay down your arms. (x7)
Please baby lay down your arms.
