Well, where oh where can my baby be? 

The Lord took her away from me. 

She's gone to heaven, so I got 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 ... 

The car was stalled, the engine was dead. 

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right. 

Never forget the sound that night ... 

The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass. 

The painful scream that I heard last. 

Well, where oh where can my baby be? 

The Lord took her away from me. 

She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, 

so I can see my baby when I leave this world. 

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down. 

There were people standing all around. 

Something warm running in my eyes, 

but I found my baby somehow that night. 

I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said, 

"Hold me darling for a little while." 

I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss. 

I found the love that I knew I would miss. 

But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight. 

I lost my love ... my life, that night. 

Well, where oh where can my baby be? 

The Lord took her away from me. 

She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, 

so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
