Felice

[Verse]
You were not my mother
But it felt like that sometimes
Being such a steady presence for me
I remember you leaning over
To whisper something nice
Giving me confidence to face the day 

Your hair was always so perfect
And you always had a smile
Being so true to your name
Even though you must have wept
You hid it all the while
Choosing to give your best just the same

[Chorus]
Strong as an oak
But gentle as the breeze
Oh I know now why the angels
Named you Felice 

Strong as an oak
But gentle as a breeze
In so many ways you were like
A mother to me

[Verse]
One day you brought home books about Scooby doo
And taught me how to read them
I was only 4 years of age
I remember the joy that ensued
Sometimes I relive that moment again
Turning over each and every page

I don’t know if you know
The happiness you bring to others
But that is something special to you
You have such a glow
Just like my beautiful mother
Two sisters alike in so many things they do

[Chorus]
Strong as an oak
But gentle as the breeze
Oh I know now why the angels
Named you Felice 

Strong as an oak
But gentle as a breeze
In so many ways you were like
A mother to me
