'sissy's song'

On my 5 minute drive to work Wednesday night, this song played on the local country radio station. I started tearing up with the chorus as all I could see were visions of my late sister Lauren. During the Spring I can always feel her around and this was one of those moments. I had to keep my composure since I was headed into work but I couldn't wait to hear this song again. Tonight I looked up the lyrics and watched the music video (posted below in this post). I couldn't believe the title of the song is 'Sissy's Song'. Anyways, hope you enjoy this song and lyrics as much as i did. Here is to 16 years (on April 5th) of celebrating your life Lauren!

Sissy's Song

Alan Jackson

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

Chorus:
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

Repeat Chorus
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me
