Texas Sunshine

I’ll bring you some blue bonnet flowers

A bouquet in sweet springtime

To put in your window in your home by the river

Where the Texas sun shines

Let that Texas sun shine.

Dear mother, I’m thinking tonight

Of a voice young and strong as April wind.

Patiently teaching me what’s wrong from what’s right

In the Texas sunshine.

Let that Texas sun shine.

Love lis a way you learned to live.

I’m learning that it’s hard to pass it on,

Through memories’ broken windows I have seen you kneel to give

In that Texas sunshine.

Let that Texas sun shine.

God willin’ mom we’ll walk again

Through a late April field in wild bloom

Through half remembered rooms and afternoons and then

This Texas son will shine

Let that Texas sun shine.
