In Remembrance of Suzanne Jeanette Loy (1977-2016)
lyrics
Oh, Suzanne, I kiss your hand - Can you feel me?
Suzanne, I kiss your head - Can you hear me?
Suzanne, there in your bed - Are you listening?
It's so surreal, Suzanne - What's happening?
I say, "Please, little sister, don't go
Please don't go into the cold"
Oh, Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you
Suzanne, if you kiss the sky I don't blame you
While Mom and Dad and Jimmy sang Amazing Grace
Suzanne, I saw life fall from your pretty face
I said, "Please, baby girl don't go
For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come"
You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne
I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne
Thanksgiving is calling out your name - Oh, Suzanne
Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there
I like to think of you floating there in the air
I said, "Please, little girl, don't go
For in this sleep who knows what dreams will come"
You were blended in the sacred and profane - Oh, Suzanne
I hope you hear it - we're all a little bit the same - Oh, Suzanne
Thanksgiving will never be the same - Oh, Suzanne
Suzanne, I kissed your head but you weren't there
I like to think of you floating there in the air
Suzanne, no hand or eye could ever frame you
Suzanne, you kissed the sky
I don't blame you
