Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris - The Sweetest Gift
The Sweetest Gift
One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
She brought no silver, no pomp or style
It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia
Streets of Philadelphia
I was bruised and battered
And I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face
Oh brother, are you going to leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue
Till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends
Vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel going to greet me
It's just you and I, my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin
The night has fallen
And I'm lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother
With your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
