Silvia

People always said we shared the exact same face

Laying there together, finding our own quiet space

We’d be praying and laughing at the silly things you’d say

You'd stretch yourself so thin just to take our tears away

I still see you at Christmas, checking under the tree

Giving up your own gifts just to bless the family

Silvia, my heart shattered into pieces on the floor

But I know you aren't hurting or in pain anymore

You’re up there with the Lord, right where you belong

With your headphones on, singing a Spanish worship song

At the top of your lungs, finally free

I'm putting my heart back together, guarding your legacy

Jerry, Danny, Peepe, Luie, Leo, and Johnny too

The grandkids and the daughters-in-law, they all miss you

I'm keeping my promise to Peepe, doing all I can

But I need you to ask God to give me a helping hand

I'm trying to be the second mom you'd want me to be

And Philip's coming back around, just like you hoped to see

Silvia, my heart shattered into pieces on the floor

But I know you aren't hurting or in pain anymore

You’re up there with the Lord, right where you belong

With your headphones on, singing a Spanish worship song

At the top of your lungs, finally free

I'm putting my heart back together, guarding your legacy

I miss the group texts lighting up my phone

I miss your playful jokes that made me feel at home

It’s hard to look at your picture and just keep pushing through

But I know the one who makes you smile is right there next to you

I'm waiting for the day I hear you calling on the line

To hear you say, "What's up froto?" one more time

Silvia, my heart shattered into pieces on the floor

But I know you aren't hurting or in pain anymore

You’re up there with the Lord, right where you belong

With your headphones on, singing a Spanish worship song

At the top of your lungs, finally free

We’ll all be together soon, just wait and see

Until then, keep singing for me
