From Shalla
Oh why, oh why did my sister have to die?
When I think about it, I do nothing but cry.
I miss her smiling face everyday.
I miss having her around, in every way.
Oh why oh why did my sister have to die?
I didn't get to wave good-bye.
I had to watch her suffer.
So I had to be tougher.
Oh why oh why did my sister have to die?
Knowing she's in a better place, gives me a high.
Shalene wonders where she went.
We tell her heaven is where her time is spent.
Oh why oh why did my sister have to die?
Thinking about it, I have a tear in my eye.
I will never again see her beautiful face.
Except for in the pictures that are above the fireplace.
Oh why oh why did my sister have to die?
I try to be happy, I really try.
Shayna, my sister is gone.
It seems wrong.
But God wanted her by his side,
and laying in pain and sickness,
Shayna took her last breath, and died.
