Little Angel With The Dirty Face Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

When your mother went away on the day that you were born 

Little angel life seemed all in vain 

Then I heard your lonesome cry knew that hope just couldn't die 

She was my loss but you were my gain 

Little angel with the dirty face God called mother sent you in her place 

You brought heaven with your smile and you made my life worthwhile 

Little angel with the dirty face 

[ steel ] 

Though you're only two years old you're worth more to me than gold 

You brought sunshine turned my night to day 

And from somewhere up above mother sends to you her love 

Watches o'er you while you run and play 

Little angel with the dirty face...
