We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, up straight 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 screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last.
Oh, 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.
When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night.
Oh, 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.
Oooh~ ooooh~

I have to say, the original made me laugh every time I heard it. At the time it came out, there were several "My lover died" sappy songs (Leader of the Pack, etc), even one where the girl runs back to get his ring and gets hit by a train. *rolls eyes*
The only time a song made me actually start to cry was when I watched k.d. lang sing "Crying" as a tribute to the recently departed Roy Orbison, but I think that was also because my sister's husband had also just died. But, man, she really did a fantastic job on bringing the emotion into that song.
