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've 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

oohhhh how I love her

oohhh how I miss her

monsieur Thompson knows she's sleeping

the doctor's been today

there seems to be no change in her

that's all he had say

but late last night she spoke to me

she said she loved me so

monsieur 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've 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

oohhhh how I love her

oohhh how I miss her

monsieur Thompson I'm sorry please don't cry

don't cry

please don't cry
