Where Did My Sunshine Go
by Laurie Card
In Memory of my beloved daughter Jessie

"In My Daughter's Eyes" is our song
Our song, for you and me
For it tells how much of a love we have
And is there for all to see

It speaks of how I see you
And how I hope that you see me
And a love that only we two shared
A love for all of eternity

We danced to this song together
At your wedding you and I
And as happy as I should have been
I couldn't help but cry

I was sad that you were all grown up
And that you would move away
But I never thought I would have lost you
On a dark September day

My sunshine was taken in September
It seems so long ago
A day I will always remember
A day that hurt me so

We did so much together
You were my true best friend
You listened, loved and comforted me
Until the very end

I am so lost without you Jessie
People truly have no clue
Each day that I am without you
My heart is a deeper blue

Someday my heart will stop beating
And you will be standing beside me with a smile
And you will reach out your beautiful arms
And hold me for a while

Then, with your gentle hands
You will lead me to the light
Where Jesus will smile upon us
And we will never leave each other's sight
