You were born in 1934
During the great depression, just before the war
And lost your dad while you were only five
You helped your mom with the little ones
Baking biscuits and doing what had to be done
That's just the way you learned to live your life
Always taking care of everyone
From the rising til the setting sun
Never resting long, there was work to do
And you were always just passing through
And I'm remembering you...
Remembering you...
Remembering you...
The world was changing just as fast as you
You no longer needed ration cards to buy new shoes
So you went to school and got yourself a job
Married PawPaw back in '51
A military wife who'd soon become a mom
And in your gentle way you loved your family well
Day by day you came and went
So much to show for the time you spent
Never resting long, there was work to do
And you were always just passing through
And I'm remembering you...
Remembering you...
Remembering you...
Five little ones, now all of them grown
In each of them lies a seed you have sown
Patience, kindness, and generosity
And the world is richer just because of you
All your children know and their children too
That's just the way we've learned to live our lives
We saw you taking care of everyone
From the rising til the setting sun
Never resting long, there was work to do
And you were always just passing through
And I'm remembering you...
Remembering you...
Remembering you...
We all came and visited you
Didn't really know you'd be leaving so soon
And there's so much that I still want to know
You opened your eyes and you told us goodbye
Everything is in order and it's okay to cry
I'm going to Heaven now, yes it's okay to cry
Well, in that great cloud of witnesses
I know that you're watching, I don't have to guess
For that's just the way you've always lived your life
Always taking care of everyone
From the rising til the setting sun
Never resting long, there's still work to do
God's little girl, just passing through
And I'm remembering you...
Remembering you... remembering you

You were born in 1934

And lost your dad while you were only five
You helped your mom with the little ones
Baking biscuits and doing what had to be done
That's just the way you learned to live your life
Always taking care of everyone
From the rising til the setting sun
Never resting long, there was work to do
And you were always just passing through
And I'm remembering you...
