Mary

Mary, you were the strongest soul that I knew

Patient and loving, so steady and true

Always there lending a hand through it all

Ready to catch me whenever I'd fall

In times of deep comfort or moments of joy

You gave me a peace that the world can't destroy

I know you are gone, but your spirit lives on

Deep in my heart from the dusk till the dawn

There is never a day that goes passing me by

That I don't think of you and look up at the sky

Oh, Mary, my sister, my comfort, my friend

This love that we share will not come to an end

I walk through the doors of your house in my mind

And leave all the weight of the sorrow behind

We're turning the music as loud as it goes

Feeling the spirit right down to our toes

Singing at the top of our lungs, feeling free

Just belting out gospel and sweet Whitney

I know you are gone, but your spirit lives on

Deep in my heart from the dusk till the dawn

There is never a day that goes passing me by

That I don't think of you and look up at the sky

Oh, Mary, my sister, my comfort, my friend

This love that we share will not come to an end

You were so strong when my spirit was weak

You gave me the grace that I needed to seek

Now I'm the one who is singing for two

Lifting my voice up to heaven and you

I know you are gone, but your spirit lives on

Deep in my heart from the dusk till the dawn

There is never a day that goes passing me by

That I don't think of you and look up at the sky

Oh, Mary, my sister, I'll sing through the tears

With your song in my heart for the rest of my years
