Songwriters: Cochran, Wayne;
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 up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The cryin tires the busting 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 a this a world
Well when I woke up the rain was pouring 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 missed
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 a this a world
