OUR BABY'S BOOK
Recorded by: Ernest Tubb
Writer: Ernest Tubb

[G] There's a new star in heaven to-[D] night
The brightest of them all, up [G] there
As we [C] gaze at ths sky, [G] we wonder why
That the [D] Lord took our baby so [G] fair.

For he was as sweet a rose
His eyes were so big, bright and blue
And it made me so glad, They said he favored his dad
And my wife said; "He's the image of you."  

Now you should see our baby's book
It's pink and bordered with gold
No, it's not complete, But on the first sheet
Our darling's life story is told.

It tells of the day he came
To add more joy to our home
After seven short weeks, Our Master did speak
And now Roger Dale has gone.

[G] But I know that he's happy, up [D] there
I can vision each action and [G] look
Friends as [C] you travel on, Please re-[G] member this song
For it's [D] written in our baby's [C] bo-[G] ok.
