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
