Juanita

I haven't read of damson plums
Thick behind the pearly gates
But I have a sneaking feeling they'll plant orchards for you
Juanita

And they haven't said
The big man, He plays favorites with the ones that he gives wings
But I'd put my money down he makes an exception for you
Juanita

Oh, for you
Juanita
Oh, for you
Juanita

Oh, how blessed
Are the limbs on the tree that you grew so big and tall
With roots of love, tough and tender, steady through it all
Juanita

It's a peaceful rest
Today the lights are golden
'Cause you get to hug your daddy and your mama
And pain has no place left there, only milk and honey
Juanita

Oh, for you
Juanita
Oh, for you
Juanita
Oh, Juanita
Oh, Juanita, Juanita
It's your little baby singing
Oh, Juanita
Oh

Although my eyes
Are blind, I know my soul will feel you sitting on my shoulder
Anywhere, anytime
Grandma I know you're watching over
