Gift of November
Verse 1
Photos of farmers, bulls, bunnies, and barn-cats,
And songs of the seasons and songs of the sky
Darkened horizons, obscured without reasons
We question and wonder, but can never know why
Chorus
We will cry, and we will remember
And we will press on after such a strong start
We will raise up, your gift of November
And carry your love in our hearts
Verse 2
Easter egg colors, and stones in the water
And talking with kittens and cousins named Lu
A bath and a story, an auction on Ebay
A home full of beauty so old yet so new
Chorus
Chorus
Verse 3
Photos of first steps so fearless and fragile
A poem and a vision, so hopeful and true
A mother, a daughter, a sister, a lover
A wife and a friend with so much left to do
A wife and a friend, we’ll keep sweet memories too
A wife and a friend, oh Lisa, we love you
