Tammy

I still remember that very first kiss

The day you were born, my greatest gift

I held you so close and I saw the spark

A beautiful spirit that captured my heart

You grew up sassy, funny, and wild

Never met a stranger, my wonderful child

With eyes the color of the Caribbean sea

You were the center of the world to me

Oh Tammy, you had a heart made of gold

The most beautiful soul that this life could hold

You'd give your last penny, the clothes off your back

To help out a neighbor who fell off the track

An angel in the eyes of this mother, it's true

Though you were taken too young and too soon

Now you're free as the birds that fly in the sky

Free as our souls when our bodies die

We were two of a kind, a mother and friend

I thought our long phone calls would never end

We'd pack up our bags and head for the trees

Get us a cabin and soak in the breeze

Castin' our lines out, fishing all day

Laughing so hard we chased the worries away

Mother Nature was always where you belonged

Now in the whispering wind, I hear your song

Oh Tammy, you had a heart made of gold

The most beautiful soul that this life could hold

You'd give your last penny, the clothes off your back

To help out a neighbor who fell off the track

An angel in the eyes of this mother, it's true

Though you were taken too young and too soon

Now you're free as the birds that fly in the sky

Free as our souls when our bodies die

Every tear that we cried, every laugh that we shared

I carry them with me, I know how you cared

Your family was everything, your love was so deep

A harvest of memories I'll forever keep

I miss you, my best friend, my guiding light

But I know you're watching from the stars tonight

Oh Tammy, you had a heart made of gold

The most beautiful soul that this life could hold

You'd give your last penny, the clothes off your back

To help out a neighbor who fell off the track

An angel in the eyes of this mother, it's true

Though you were taken too young and too soon

Now you're free as the birds that fly in the sky

Free as our souls when our bodies die
