Samantha

Wednesday morning sunshine coming through the glass

I watch the hands on the kitchen clock pass

Thinking 'bout our mid-week lunch dates, just us two

I was so blessed to have a daughter like you

You'd sit across from me with that gentle grace

I'd give anything to reach out and touch your face

Samantha, you were patient, so loving and sweet

Such a good girl, making my life complete

I'm sending up my love on a whispered prayer

Knowing that you're waiting for me up there

I'll hold onto the memories we were given

Until we meet again, my girl, in heaven

I still order coffee and an extra cup

When the missing gets heavy, I just look up

I remember how kind you were to everyone you knew

There was a quiet kind of beauty shining out of you

You always took the time to just sit and stay

I carry that warm feeling with me every day

Samantha, you were patient, so loving and sweet

Such a good girl, making my life complete

I'm sending up my love on a whispered prayer

Knowing that you're waiting for me up there

I'll hold onto the memories we were given

Until we meet again, my girl, in heaven

I love you more than words could ever say

And that's a truth that time can't take away

It's hard to walk this road without your hand in mine

But I can't wait to see you at the end of the line

Oh Samantha, you were patient, so loving and sweet

Such a good girl, making my life complete

I'm sending up my love on a whispered prayer

Knowing that you're waiting for me up there

I'll hold onto the memories we were given

Until we meet again, my girl, in heaven
