"Sweet Patty"
words (& music) by Christene LeDoux
copyright 2002/BMI
(A song dedicated to my mom, Patty)

V: I'm just a litte girl, with my skinny legs
without a family in this orphanage
my ma she left me a note today
sewn in my favorite doll an I'm sad cuz' I left it in the rain

V: I can see it from this window pane
It's raining harder & it's getting wet
here comes the warden an she's throwin it away
filled with my mama's last words that I never read:

Chorus: Sweet Patty I hope you understand, I didn't want to leave you like I did
you know I love you and I hope that you love me back
Don't forget these words Sweet Patty, carry them

V: I'm married now with my own kids
sometimes I swear that I see you in them
my girls they ask me, where grandma went
I tell them the story of that rainy day

Chorus: Sweet Patty I hope you understand, I didn't want to leave you like I did
you know I love you and I hope that you love me back
Don't forget these words Sweet Patty, carry them

V: I just turned 60 this past Spring
I've got 4 grandkids and I thank god for them
I don't know how I've made it, without you here
I'm still that little girl in that orphanage

Chorus: Sweet Patty I hope you can hear me
I want you to know that I never left
You know I love you and I know that, you love me back
don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them...
carry them
carry them
