It's a darling girl, my darling girl with eyes as dark as night And a heart so true but just so strong, set to live a darling life As years roll by, she'll grow up fine and she'll sing a silent song But she'll find your piano and she'll find her wings And she'll sing all the days ... I'm waiting on a ghost To show her love in arms And sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me Well go call on her brother and her sister too Go call on all the town Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will pa** Before there's room for three My sister will grow, my mother will know Soon there will be room for me I'm waiting on a ghost To show her love in arms And sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me Like an old toy top spins and stops Or tag ... in the ball A long summer's wait come walking down She'll be buried in the fall And now she sleeps with you Marie Bittersweet is this old world They tell me soon my sister too will have a darling girl I'm waiting on a ghost To show her love in arms And sweet marie I can see your faint light shining down on me --- .
