Brenda

Twenty-nine years ago, you came into this world

I finally laid my eyes on my baby girl

But you were only meant to stay for a moment in time

A beautiful angel, so perfectly divine

You came just to give me a hug and a kiss goodbye

That very same day, you got your wings to fly

Brenda, you're my forever sunshine in the morning

And my shining star at night

My forever baby girl, mama loves you with all my heart

You will always be my guiding light

Until I can hold you in my arms again

My baby, keep shining down on me

I never got to know your favorite color

Or what kind of movie you would want to see

I never got to know your favorite food

Or what you really like, the woman you would be

I missed out on the things that mothers get to know

But I never missed a single second of loving you so

Brenda, you're my forever sunshine in the morning

And my shining star at night

My forever baby girl, mama loves you with all my heart

You will always be my guiding light

Until I can hold you in my arms again

My baby, keep shining down on me

Twenty-nine years of holding you close in my soul

Your brief little life made my spirit whole

I'll wait for the moment when the waiting is done

And I can embrace you, my beautiful one

'Cause Brenda, you're my forever sunshine in the morning

And my shining star at night

My forever baby girl, mama loves you with all my heart

You will always be my guiding light

Until I can hold you in my arms again

My baby, keep shining down on me

Yeah, my baby, keep shining down on me
