lyrics

Carrie loves her flowers in the spring
She holds them in her hand while on a swing Carrie wears her bonnet every spring
Woven from the finest April string
She walks to church on Sundays, about a mile Greeting people with a friendly smile
CHORUS
She lives her life, she loves out loud She stands young and proud
She is morning sunshine in a crowd She gives her best, all is good
It is understood, when the Good Lord calls, She'll say goodbye world
Carrie heeds the sunset in the park After she kneels down, prays 'til dark Carrie hears the sound of golden larks She knows that it is time for her to part
She sees an angel shining in the light Takes her last breath in the warmth of night
CHORUS
She lived her life, she loved out loud She stood young and proud
She was morning sunshine in a crowd She gave her best, all is good
It is understood, when the Good Lord called, She said goodbye world
CHORUS
Carrie loved her flowers in the spring Now they grow right next to her old swing Carrie wore her bonnet every spring
I can still hear Carrie when she sings
