Story behind the song

I wrote this song for my sister in law's funeral.. a few days before she passed away, she had won a little silly family contest we had, she'd come up with a sock monster that ate socks in the drier. We'd also been working to build a kitchen in her cottage together. All those themes came tumbling out in this song.

Lyrics

I can't be with you
So let me leave you a list
And I'm going to be there
With a big unseen kiss

So watch me a sunset, laugh me a laugh
Love one another with all that you have
And finish the kitchen, do this for me
And a hummingbird feeder or three
And if you do the walkway, from heaven I'll see
But finish the kitchen for me

I know you want me
To lend you a hand
But I'm with the Lord now
To help with his plan

I'll be the moonlight, the sun on the dock
I'll be the joy and the lint in your sock
So finish the kitchen, do this for me
And a hummingbird feeder or three
And if you do the walkway, from heaven I'll see
But finish the kitchen for me
Finish the kitchen for me.
