Bubby's Doll Lyrics

The prettiest doll I'd ever seen

Well one day Mama told me it was time

We'd finally leave this place far behind

But Papa couldn't come along

'Cause he was big and strong

And the wind it carried on

Its saddest song

We knew that it was time for us to leave

Papa would be brave and we'd be free

And 'cause he knew how it would be

'Fore the ship had left to sea

Papa gave me a little doll to take with me

She was the prettiest doll I'd ever seen

And when I held her tight she reminded me

That Papa said, before you go

Don't you know I love you so

With every passing day, with every tear

I'd hold her close, I'd keep her near

'Cause Papa said, before you go

You're in my heart and in my soul

And though now I don't know when

I know someday we'll be together again

Well one day sitting on the deck at the bow

I held my doll but lost my grip somehow

And when she fell from my arms

I knew she won't be saved

And I watched her slowly sink beneath the waves

She was the prettiest doll I'd ever seen

And when I held her tight she reminded me

That Papa said, before you go

Don't you know I love you so

With every passing day, with every tear

I'd hold her close, I'd keep her near

'Cause Papa said, before you go

You're in my heart and in my soul

And though now I don't know when

I know someday we'll be together again

Well someday came and someday went

Papa's arrival felt heaven sent

And finally we were safe

And sound

And life went on as life goes on

And we found ways to carry on

But my little doll still sank beneath the waves

But then one day I looked and I could see

Sitting there in front of me

My little girl and little boy

She had a doll, he had a toy

And my family grew with each passing day

And soon my grandchildren would come to play

And they would ask me why

I loved every doll I'd buy

And they'd listen as I told

About the prettiest doll a girl had ever known

'Cause she was the prettiest doll I'd ever seen

And when I held her tight she reminded me

That Papa said, before you go

Don't you know I love you so

With every passing day, with every tear

I'd hold her close, I'd keep her near

'Cause Papa said, before you go

Know you'll never be alone

And though now I don't know when

I know someday we'll be together again

And someday we'll be together again

Cypora, I got the song

It's glorious
