Our Angel Sunshine
(to the tune of 'You Are My Sunshine'. Angels Favorite Song
Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.
and our lives will be forever blessed.
The other night dear, as you lay sleeping—
we held your hand and held you tight.
we held your hand and held you tight.
We closed our eyes dear and drifted off to—
the days before you faced this fight.
the days before you faced this fight.
Before your birth dear, in Mama’s belly—
Dear Daddy sang a song to you.
Dear Daddy sang a song to you.
‘And baby now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you go—
I’ll build my world around you, I need you so’.
I’ll build my world around you, I need you so’.
You were born dear, one day in May—
and we held you in our arms.
and we held you in our arms.
With those blue eyes, you gazed upon us—
and with joyous tears we cried.
and with joyous tears we cried.
Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.
and our lives will be forever blessed.
Our Princess Angel, loved Cinderella—
she loved rainbows and butterflies.
she loved rainbows and butterflies.
Her favorite color was Princess pink—
and she had sparkles in her eyes.
and she had sparkles in her eyes.
When Angel giggled, it was contagious—
the sweetest sound you ever heard.
the sweetest sound you ever heard.
And when she smiled, you smiled with her—
for that smile would light up the world.
for that smile would light up the world.
Our Princess Angel, would sign ‘I Love You’—
one of the ways she showed her love.
one of the ways she showed her love.
And when she wrapped her arms around you—
it was the whole world’s greatest hug.
it was the whole world’s greatest hug.
Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
For seven years now, we’ve grown to love you—
and our lives will be forever blessed.
and our lives will be forever blessed.
Our Angel Sunshine, you faced such hardship—
during a life that was too short..
during a life that was too short..
You faced an illness, with such resilience—
you fought with passion, strength and spunk.
you fought with passion, strength and spunk.
So many love you, you love so many—
it is so hard to let you go.
it is so hard to let you go.
But we rejoice in, your angel wings now—
and in heaven as an Angel you will glow.
and in heaven as an Angel you will glow.
We come together, on this your seventh birthday—
as you earn your heavenly wings.
as you earn your heavenly wings.
We stand together, here on Earth—
looking up while cherishing sweet memories.
looking up while cherishing sweet memories.
Our Angel Sunshine, our Angel Sunshine—
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
you’ve brought such happiness to us.
For the rest of our days we will love you—
and one day we’ll meet again at heavens gates..
and one day we’ll meet again at heavens gates..

There are no words to describe the incredible spirit of this young girl.
She touched so many lives in her short life.
She fought cancer with strength, grit and beautiful smiles.
Her spirit and her love lives on in the hearts of all who loved her.
I'm blessed to have been touched by her.
We love you Angel.....forever and always....
