Verse
Over the road out of town high plains snows were driftin’
As my overloaded mind finally began siftin’
Through the ache, broken hearts make
It’s a hard lesson to be learnin’
To see her final season here turnin’…away
Gone forever to stay
Chorus
As she is gathered up to her family’s arms
May her soul be at peace
And may God bless and keep…Shirley Elyse
Verse
She always came through whether it be for family or friend
Held straight and true to the very end
Never gave up, on the ones she loved
Blessed with a generous soul, always took in a stray
They’d end up at her door and she’d never turn them away
No questions asked, no strings attached
Chorus
Bridge
My collar turned up to the sting and bite
As the wind cut through this cold January night
I can hear her say, it’ll be alright…it’s gonna be alright
Solo
Chorus
As she is gathered up to her family’s arms
May her soul be at peace
And may God bless and keep…Shirley Elyse
And may God bless and keep…Shirley Elyse
