Lady Lorraine
Written By: Jim Gaffney
[Verse 1]
She showed us life is what you give
Said “fill it full, and choose to live.”
Now every sunset brings her face
A light that time cannot erase
She wore grace like a summer dress
And met each storm with gentleness
Her laughter echoed through the years
A quiet strength behind the tears
She taught me joy in simple things
Like homemade pie and porch swing dreams
The world felt safer by her side
Her very hug would make hurt subside
[Chorus]
Beachdays, boardwalks and lemonade
The best days in life are family made
Tomorrow is a promise to no one man
Live life to the fullest, be all you can
Give thanks to God and let love grow
A heart of goodness to the world you show
Time well lived is worth the fight
Stay the course and keep the light
Be humble, kind, strong and true
Do unto others as they done unto you
Take a deep breath and let it go
One mile at a time, just take it slow
I learned these lessons from Lady Lorraine
In my heart she’ll forever remain
[Verse 2]
She’d light the way when we got lost
And taught us love was worth the cost
Never rich but she gave us gold
In stories lived and lessons told
A quiet hero, never loud
Three sons she raised, always proud
She left a map of how to be
And stitched her strength right into me
She found the good in every soul
And played her quiet, guiding role
With every step, her light still shines
A steady pulse through changing times
[Chorus]
Beachdays, boardwalks and lemonade
The best days in life are family made
Tomorrow is a promise to no one man
Live life to the fullest, be all you can
Give thanks to God and let love grow
A heart of goodness to the world you show
Time well lived is worth the fight
Stay the course and keep the light
Be humble, kind, strong and true
Do unto others as they done unto you
Take a deep breath and let it go
One mile at a time, just take it slow
I learned these lessons from Lady Lorraine
In my heart she’ll forever remain
[Bridge]
She’s the voice behind every choice
The calm inside my inner noise
When life feels heavy, cold, or strange
I hear her words, they never change
"Stand in truth and walk in grace
Let kindness fill the empty space
When you fall, don’t fear the ground
Those that are lost can always be found
Give to others more than you take
And leave the world a better place”
Her spirit lives in all I do
A guiding light that pulls me through
[Chorus]
Beachdays, boardwalks and lemonade
The best days in life are family made
Tomorrow is a promise to no one man
Live life to the fullest, be all you can
Give thanks to God and let love grow
A heart of goodness to the world you show
Time well lived is worth the fight
Stay the course and keep the light
Be humble, kind, strong and true
Do unto others as they done unto you
Take a deep breath and let it go
One mile at a time, just take it slow
I learned these lessons from Lady Lorraine
In my heart she’ll forever remain
