Sunshine Forever, Irene

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some mornings still feel like a dream Where the coffee's warm and the house ain't quiet Where laughter fills the kitchen air And love don't need a word to say it Fifty-four years of hand in hand A kind of grace you can't explain [Chorus] You are my sunshine forever Even now through the rain Every memory's a treasure Love like yours don't fade away And though these arms feel empty Your light still leads my way You are my sunshine forever Each and every day [Verse 2] Irene, you were sweet to your bones Always thinking of everyone else A gentle word, a knowing smile You made this world a better place Douglas carries you in his heart Your best friend walking through the dark [Chorus] You are my sunshine forever Even now through the rain Every memory's a treasure Love like yours don't fade away And though these arms feel empty Your light still leads my way You are my sunshine forever Each and every day [Bridge] Douglas, let the tears fall when they come Let the healing start with every one She's the love that shaped the man you are She's not gone, she's just the nearest star [Verse 3] There'll come a morning, Douglas, when The sunrise feels like her again And all those years won't weigh you down They'll lift you up from where you stand Your lover, your friend, your guiding light Irene lives on in every smile [Chorus] You are my sunshine forever Even now through the rain Every memory's a treasure Love like yours don't fade away And though these arms feel empty Your light still leads my way You are my sunshine forever Each and every day [Outro] So hold the memories close and true Her sunshine forever lives in you
