Sunshine Of Your Smile

My mother passed away this past Tuesday after four difficult months in the hospital.  She got the sweetest smile even though she has lost her power of speech and was constantly immobile in a hospital bed.  She was, and still is, my dearest in the whole world, and I miss her so much.

I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your lovely face
Give me a smile, the love light in your eyes
Life could not hold a sweeter paradise

Written in 1913 originally, Mike Berry's 1980 version of Sunshine Of Your Smile:
