When I'm really missing Steff - which is always - I think of this song. It seems to help me through the moment. I try to believe that she is happy and in no pain and where she belongs. The belief that she is safe and we will be together again is my comfort.
The title of this song is even more special because it's called Sissy's Song and she was my sister. Maybe not by blood, but but love. She was going to be my brother's wife one day, but the cards just didn't land in their favor. But no matter what, in my heart she will forever be my sister. :-)
Sissy's Song By: Alan Jackson
Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me
You know what's funny? I've listened to this song so much since you showed it to me, when I read the lyrics I know exactly how it should be sung. It's such a beautiful song and it brings tears to my eyes just reading this. Because, even though the verses are sad the chorus makes us remember that we have something to smile about. Thanks for sharing, Tia. :)
