Jessie

I still remember the day that our whole story changed

When the papers were signed and our lives rearranged

The moment you and your sister walked into my home

I knew that my heart had a place of its own

My world turned around for the better right then

And I’d do it all over again and again

Jessie, you and your sister mean the world to me

The most beautiful branches on our family tree

I love you with all of my heart, and I always will

When the waters are rough and when the wind is still

This love is forever, a promise I'll keep

A bond that runs steady and deep

Jessie, my grandson, you're smart and you're bright

You're always cracking a joke and bringing the light

You love making folks laugh till the tears start to fall

But your tender and loving heart outshines it all

I watch how you care for the people you meet

And it makes this whole journey so sweet

Jessie, you and your sister mean the world to me

The most beautiful branches on our family tree

I love you with all of my heart, and I always will

When the waters are rough and when the wind is still

This love is forever, a promise I'll keep

A bond that runs steady and deep

Some folks think I saved you, but we know the truth

You brought this old house a new spirit of youth

The day I got custody, the stars all aligned

You gave me a purpose and peace in my mind

Oh Jessie, you and your sister mean the world to me

The most beautiful branches on our family tree

I love you with all of my heart, and I always will

When the waters are rough and when the wind is still

This love is forever, right from the start

You both hold the keys to my heart
