Connie

Six-thirty in the evening, June twenty-ninth, seventy-eight

The world just stopped spinning for a moment to celebrate

My beautiful bright eyes, looking up at me

The sweetest little daughter that I could ever see

You held onto your trouser doll and all your storybooks

I memorized your laughter and your gentle little looks

Oh, Connie, you’ve got a heart of pure gold

A protective spirit that will never grow old

From helping out people to the animals you save

I’m so proud of the beautiful life that you made

Never, ever forget how important you are

My wonderful daughter, my beautiful star

When your brother Lee was born, you were only two

He’d cry and you’d say, "Baby has wet socks, what do we do?"

You cried when he rode that unicycle down the street

Thought somebody broke his bike, your heart was just that sweet

We made living room forts and snow angels on the floor

From Bible school to chorus, I couldn't love you more

Oh, Connie, you’ve got a heart of pure gold

A protective spirit that will never grow old

From helping out people to the animals you save

I’m so proud of the beautiful life that you made

Never, ever forget how important you are

My wonderful daughter, my beautiful star

Grandma and Pap Pap, Pampaw and Grandma D

Great Grandma Myrtle and Chubby Pap Pap in our memory

Granny and the Ole Man, they’d be so proud to see

The mother, the grandma, and the woman you came to be

Since the day you were baptized, you've walked in the light

Now you take care of me, and you make my days bright

Oh, Connie, you’ve got a heart of pure gold

A protective sister with a hand I can hold

From helping out people to the animals you save

I’m so proud of the beautiful life that you made

Never, ever forget how much you are loved

God bless you, my Connie, my gift from above
