Sandy

You have a sweet and gentle soul,

A thoughtful, loving heart

You bring encouragement and hope,

A blessing from the start

Through every shifting wind of life,

Through every joy and tear

I look beside me on the path

And see you standing near

Oh Sandy, in the brightest days

And through the darkest night

You’ve been the one to hold my hand

And walk me toward the light

I thank the Lord for every day

He gives me here with you

I love you with all of my heart,

My sister, strong and true

I count the memories we share,

Like treasures in my mind

When Mom turned seventy in Reno,

The laughter we would find

We walked Virginia City's streets,

And took that Vegas trip

Bound close together, side by side,

In sweet companionship

Oh Sandy, in the brightest days

And through the darkest night

You’ve been the one to hold my hand

And walk me toward the light

I thank the Lord for every day

He gives me here with you

I love you with all of my heart,

My sister, strong and true

Through every season we have known,

The bitter and the sweet

Your tender and devoted love

Has made my life complete

You always know just what to say,

You lift me when I fall

I see the grace of heaven shine

Whenever I may call

Oh Sandy, in the brightest days

And through the darkest night

You’ve been the one to hold my hand

And walk me toward the light

I thank the Lord for every day

He gives me here with you

I love you with all of my heart,

My sister, strong and true
