In Loving Memory of Louise Nemersen
10/18/56-9/18/08
SHE
WAS LIKE A LIGHT IN THE DARK
WHEN
YOU’RE WAKIN’ HALF BLIND WITH A HEAVY HEART
SHE
COULD BE A FRIEND, HELP YOU ‘ROUND THAT
BEND
SHE’D
TALK LIKE A SAGE, SMILE LIKE A CHILD
SOME
DAYS YOU’D SWEAR YOU COULD SEE GOD SMILE
IN
THOSE SHINING EYES, DRY EVERY LAST TEAR YOU
CRIED
CHORUS:
OH
SHE WAS JUST LIKE THAT, SHE WAS JUST LIKE THAT
SHE WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO
GAVE WITHOUT EXPECTING SOMETHING BACK
OH
SHE WAS JUST LIKE, SHE WAS JUST LIKE THAT
SHE
ALWAYS HAD A PLACE FOR A HEART TO HANG IT’S
HAT
WELL I WAS LIKE A STONE
THAT’D ROLLED
TOO MANY TIMES ON THE SAME
OLD
ROAD
GATHERIN’
DUST, NO ONE I COULD TRUST
SHE TOOK ME UNDER THOSE
ANGEL’S WINGS
SAID YOU OUGHTA WRITE,
YOU OUGHTA SING
AND
STOP WASTING TIME WITH THINGS THAT NEVER RHYME
OH THE STORMY SEAS I’D
RIDE, SHE WAS LIKE AN ANCHOR
IN THOSE SHIFTING TIDES
SO I SANG FOR HER THEN
AND I SING FOR HER NOW
SHE’S GONE BUT I KNOW
SHE LIVES SOMEHOW
IN
THE WAY SHE CARED, IN THE LOVE SHE SHARED
LIFE
BRINGS US THOSE THAT LEND A HAND
GIVE
US HOPE, HELP US STAND
BRING
US HOME AT LAST . . . . AND SHE WAS JUST LIKE
THAT
