Don’t Cry For Me

Don’t cry for me, my angel fair
My heart is well content
I’ve lived a full and happy life
But now my days are spent

You’re still the girl in Easter pink
With puffy, sleeves of lace
Your still the school girl sneaking out
With makeup on her face

You’re still the high school cheerleader
The town’s Homecoming Queen
Your still the lovely mother
Who is now fulfilling dreams

Your beauty’s a reflection
Of the spirit you possess
Your eyes reveal the truth of
Your respect and thoughtfulness

You’ve always done so much for others
With compassion and with love
For you’ve been given a gift of grace
Sent down from God above

You are one of my treasures
With which I’m truly blessed
For these, my life will end in love
In peace and happiness

So do not cry for me, my love
I’m stronger than you think
And you’re still my little daughter
In Easter sleeves of pink
