My wife told me a few things about her daddy. When he told her she had to go to school; even though she didn't want to. When her parents split up and when her daddy was passing away in front of her eyes!

Story behind the song
I knew I was going to write this song; but I've been so busy with this new job; I didn't have the time. I was driving down the interstate and the DJ said he was gonna play Alan Jackson's new one; Sissy's Song!! I almost wrecked! By the time it was over and I regained control of my truck; I knew I had to write it! Sweet Sissy has been in my head ever since I've met my wife. Her daddy and whole family has always called her Sissy!! I hope you all enjoy it!! Thanks Shawn

Verse
She was so nervous…and only eight;
When he walked her…towards the gate.
Scared…and not wanting to go to school;
Her daddy…well…he laid out the rules__.

Sweet Sissy...please don't cry.
Sweet Sissy...dry your eyes__.
Sweet Sissy...it's time…for you to go__;
And Sweet Sissy I want you to know__...I love__...you so__!
Verse
A few years later and not sure what to do;
Stuck in the middle…with so much to lose
She asked her daddy…if everything would be fine;
Then he told her…one more time.
Chorus
Sweet Sissy...please don't cry.
Sweet Sissy...dry your eyes__.
Sweet Sissy...it's time…for you to go__;
And Sweet Sissy I want you to know__...I love__...you so__!
Bridge or Tag
She said it's been…10 years ago…on this day;
And these were the last words…he had to__ say!
Chorus
Sweet Sissy...please don't cry.
Sweet Sissy...dry your eyes__.
Sweet Sissy...it's time…for me to go__;
And Sweet Sissy I want you to know__.
Sweet Sissy... I want you to know____.
Sweet Sissy... I want you to know__.
I love__…you so___!
Sweet Sissy
