Chrissy

[Verse 1]
Italian heart, an Irish soul,
A daughter born in fifty-two,
The oldest of four sister girls,
Who set the path we all walk through.
Once a friend, then friends for good —
A hand held out the way one should.

[Chorus]
Oh sister, you're a garden in the sun,
Putting your own needs behind everyone.
Kind of heart and gentle as the dawn,
Chrissy, we can't imagine you gone.
Here for a good time, that's your song —
Loved and cherished all along.

[Verse 2]
You chase forever young and free,
Every potion, every cream,
Trips to Nassau's turquoise sea,
Holiday lights and hummingbird dreams.
The flowers know your tender care,
The best of aunts, beyond compare.

[Chorus]
Oh sister, you're a garden in the sun,
Putting your own needs behind everyone.
Kind of heart and gentle as the dawn,
Chrissy, we can't imagine you gone.
Here for a good time, that's your song —
Loved and cherished all along.

[Bridge]
Your little sayings fill the air,
A growing list, a life to share.
Not here for long, but here so bright —
You turn the ordinary into light.

[Verse 3]
Those old tote boxes hold your gold,
New friends found in stories told.
Whatever storm may cross your way,
You lift us up and lead the day.
So blow the candles, make a wish —
There's no one, Chrissy, quite like this.

[Chorus]
Oh sister, you're a garden in the sun,
Putting your own needs behind everyone.
Kind of heart and gentle as the dawn,
Chrissy, we can't imagine you gone.
Here for a good time, that's your song —
Loved and cherished all along.

[Outro]
Happy birthday, guiding light,
Forever young and shining bright.
