JUST A STRAND FROM THE YELLOW CURL

CH
JUST A STRAND FROM THE YELLOW CURL
BRINGS MEMORIES OF OUR GIRL
AN ANGEL HERE ON EARTH SHE SEEMED TO ME
BUT THE MASTER CALLED ONE DAY 
AND TOOK OUR CHILD AWAY
NOW ALL WE HAVE IS A STRAND FROM THE YELLOW CURL

THE FAMILY BIBLE HOLDS IN IT'S PAGES YELLOWED OLD
A TREASURE FAR MORE DEAR THAN LIFE TO ME
AND I SHED A SILENT TEAR EACH DAY AS YEAR BY YEAR
THIS TREASURE GROWS MORE PRECIOUS TO MY HEART

CH

EACH DAY WE MISS HER MORE
HER TOTTERING FEET UPON THE FLOOR
HER SWEET VOICE GAILY LAUGHING WHILE AT PLAY
BLUE EYES WE CAN'T FORGET CALLING TO US YET
CALLING TO US FROM THAT GOLDEN SHORE
