Tina

We were young and side by side

Working through those early days

At Adesa, time would glide

In a gentle, golden haze

Me and you and sweet Deanna

Sharing secrets in the light

You became my sanctuary

Through the shadows of the night

Oh Tina, with your brave, strong heart

You keep on giving to us all

You put yourself behind the rest

To answer every single call

You and Deanna are the only friends

My quiet life has ever known

I love you for the selfless grace

And all the kindness you have shown

When the heavy burdens fall

You are there to bear the weight

Answering the quiet call

Standing steady, standing straight

You will tend to every sorrow

While your own is pushed away

Building up a bright tomorrow

For the ones you hold today

Oh Tina, with your brave, strong heart

You keep on giving to us all

You put yourself behind the rest

To answer every single call

You and Deanna are the only friends

My quiet life has ever known

I love you for the selfless grace

And all the kindness you have shown

Looking back across the years

It was always just us three

Wiping one another's tears

Like a chosen family

I have never had another

Who would stay when shadows fall

You and Deanna, closely woven

Are the greatest gift of all

Oh Tina, with your brave, strong heart

You keep on giving to us all

You put yourself behind the rest

To answer every single call

You and Deanna are the only friends

My quiet life has ever known

I love you, Tina, evermore

For the kindness you have shown
