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.
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.
Oh, how I love her.
Oh,
how I miss her.
Miss Thompson,
now she's sleeping,
the doctor's been today.
There seems to be no change in her,
that's all he had to say.
But late last night, she spoke to me,
she said she loves me so.
Miss 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?
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.
Miss Thompson,
I'm sorry,
please don't cry.
