The Ones That Knew Her Best
Well my children are all raised to have children of their own
And now it's just me and my lover left in our mobile home
And I am so amazed by how I have grown
I built a life off of loving and hard work alone
Kindness for others is what I always like to say
I teach it to my grandchildren and hope with them it'll stay
I cook them good meals and take a photo every holiday
It brings me joy and I wouldn't have it any other way
But I'm waking up in the middle of the night feeling oh so sore
Then put my pain aside for now to complete the daily chores
And then the doctor calls me up and says to do them no more
A deathly disease came with the breeze and washed up on my shore
Well I can't bring myself to cry while others around me weep
I'm too sick for church but I still get visits from the local priest
Meanwhile all my loved ones try to make ends meet
But I'm stuck in bed resting my head for I have grown so weak
Well it seems that I've lost all my sight on everything I've learned
And now I'm spending none of my thoughts on the money that I have earned
Today I'm more amazed by how the tables turned
So now my life is gone won't you carry on to have my body burned
Well the ones that knew her best were the ones to say so long
Now I pray more than anything that I'd never done her wrong
And somehow she finds her way into all of my songs
But she ended her race in a better place, in heaven where she belongs
Yes she ended her race in a better place, in heaven where she belongs
And now it's just me and my lover left in our mobile home
And I am so amazed by how I have grown
I built a life off of loving and hard work alone
Kindness for others is what I always like to say
I teach it to my grandchildren and hope with them it'll stay
I cook them good meals and take a photo every holiday
It brings me joy and I wouldn't have it any other way
But I'm waking up in the middle of the night feeling oh so sore
Then put my pain aside for now to complete the daily chores
And then the doctor calls me up and says to do them no more
A deathly disease came with the breeze and washed up on my shore
Well I can't bring myself to cry while others around me weep
I'm too sick for church but I still get visits from the local priest
Meanwhile all my loved ones try to make ends meet
But I'm stuck in bed resting my head for I have grown so weak
Well it seems that I've lost all my sight on everything I've learned
And now I'm spending none of my thoughts on the money that I have earned
Today I'm more amazed by how the tables turned
So now my life is gone won't you carry on to have my body burned
Well the ones that knew her best were the ones to say so long
Now I pray more than anything that I'd never done her wrong
And somehow she finds her way into all of my songs
But she ended her race in a better place, in heaven where she belongs
Yes she ended her race in a better place, in heaven where she belongs
