Fancy face

I was just a kid without a compass in my hand

Trying to find my footing, trying to understand

But every single night I’d sit and watch you from afar

Reading through your Bible by the light of the stars

You'd take your little notes, turning pages in the glow

Planting seeds of faith that I didn't even know

I didn't have direction, but I had you right there

Showing me the power of a quiet, honest prayer

Oh, Fancy face, with a smile that lights the room

You always chased away the shadows and the gloom

You're patient and you're funny, with a beautiful heart

Smart enough to know just how to play the hardest part

You protected and encouraged me, pushed me to be strong

In some ways you were a mother to me all along

Now we're both adults, but the picture is the same

You're a woman of faith who can weather any rain

A beautiful grandmother, a mother and a friend

Showing me the bright side when the road begins to bend

You always kept the bad away and helped me see the good

Standing as a role model the way a sister should

I look back on those evenings when you didn't know I saw

Watching you believe gave me a sense of awe

From the little girl who needed you, to the person I am now

You've always been my inspiration, you always showed me how

Oh, Fancy face, with a smile that lights the room

You always chased away the shadows and the gloom

You're patient and you're funny, with a beautiful heart

Smart enough to know just how to play the hardest part

You protected and encouraged me, pushed me to be strong

More than just a sister, you're where I belong
