Lyrics
“GRACIE & ME”
Words by Phyllis Barash & Music by Barry David Butler
FOR MANY YEARS A LONG TIME AGO
I WAS VERY ILL
I CONSULTED MANY DOCTORS
HAD NO MAGIC PILL
I STRUGGLED AND I SUFFERED
CONSTANTLY IN PAIN
I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING
DISCOURAGED ONCE AGAIN
GRACIE & ME
WE’RE AS CLOSE AS CAN BE
SHARIN OUR LIVES
AND ENTWINED DESTINY
WE OVERCAME PAIN
AND WE NEVER COMPLAIN
GOD SMILES FROM ABOVE
BLESSING US ONCE AGAIN
THERE SEEMED TO BE NO ANSWERS
NO REASON TO GO ON
AND JUST WHEN THINGS WERE DARKEST
ALL THE LIGHT WAS GONE
I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD HELP ME
AND GUIDE ME ON MY WAY
GOD HEARD MY PRAYERS AND SENT GRACIE
ON THAT BLESSED DAY
(CHORUS)
SHE HAD BROKEN LEGS AND BROKEN RIBS
AND SHE WAS JUST A PUP
AND WHILE SHE HAD AN OPERATION
SHE DIED AND THEN WOKE UP
I RESCUED HER AND SHE RESCUED ME
AND WE’RE NEVER APART
MY SPECIAL ANGEL GRACIE
FEELS EACH BEAT WITHIN MY HEART
(CHORUS)
GOD ONLY MADE ONE OF ME
AND ONLY ONE OF YOU
EACH ONE LIVING ON THE EARTH
HAS A UNIQUE JOB TO DO
EVERYDAY IS ONE MORE GIFT
PART OF GOD’S ETERNAL PLAN
I’M HERE TO WALK IN LOVE
AND HELP EACH SOUL I CAN
