about

MARY SUNSHINE “Mary Sunshine” was what my father called my mother. My father passed in 2003. My mom
was eighty-three at the time. Mom and Pop were married for fifty-four years. Never saw either one leave in anger.
They spent most of the fifty-four years by each other’s side. How do you ever get over a loss like that? Watching her
miss him I wrote this song. By the way, that is my 100-year-old mother singing the last verse in first person. She
wrote the words for that verse too

lyrics

Mary Sunshine


She was looking out the window of the last home that they made
The blue-bird was singing as the sun began to fade
She was hoping she could see him peeking through the distant clouds
When the wind started calling her great trees began to bow


She was standing in the kitchen washing off a single plate
With a smile on her lips 'memberin’ how he use to wait
For the cake that’s in the oven or what’s roasting in the pan
They had such a good life she was proud to take his hand

Chorus:

She heard his voice and it was calling like sweet summer rain
But it was December still she drifted back in time when he sang,
“You are my sunshine my only sunshine And U make me happy all of the time
You’ll never know dear how much I love you. U make me happy all of the time”


Now I'm lying in a lonely bed wishing you were here.
Holding me in your loving arms, wiping away my tears.
From all the times I've thought of you, and every time I cry.
'Til the Angels are here to take me to your arms and by your side.

Repeat chorus:
