Now I’m holding back these tears, [music] but they’re falling [singing] anyway.

I never imagined I’d have to find the courage [music] to say goodbye today.

One last goodbye, godmother.

One last kiss before you go.

One last moment holding you before heaven takes [singing] you home.

[music] You were my light in my shelter from the storm, the woman who could make my broken heart feel safe and warm.

One last goodbye, godmother.

>> [music] >> How I wish I could turn back time.

If I had one more minute with you.

[music] I’d tell you you changed my life.

>> [music] >> You showed me that kindness matters.

>> [music] >> That a gentle heart can still be strong.

You taught me [singing] to keep chasing dreams.

Even when [music] everything felt wrong.

You remembered [singing] where you came [music] from.

Those mountains that you called your home.

And everywhere your music traveled, you made somebody feel less alone.

You gave [music] so much to this world, but somehow you always gave me more.

A little courage.

A little laughter.

And a reason [singing] to keep moving forward.

>> [music] >> Now your chair stands empty.

[singing] And your laughter fills my dreams.

I’m learning that goodbye can hurt more [music] than anything I’ve ever seen.

One last goodbye, >> [music] >> godmother.

One last kiss before you go.

One last moment holding you before heaven [music] takes you home.

You were my light in the darkness.

My shelter from the storm.

The woman who could make my broken heart feel safe and warm.

One last goodbye, godmother.

I wish I could turn back time.

If I had one more minute with you.

I’d tell you that you changed my life.

If you can hear me from heaven, please know I’m trying to be [singing] strong.

I’ll carry every word you taught me everywhere I go from now on.

When I chase the [music] dreams you believed [singing] in, I’ll imagine you standing by my side.

And [music] whenever I feel like giving up, I’ll remember how you taught me to try.

No more pain, godmother.

No more tears.

No more carrying the weight [singing] of all those difficult years.

Go where the angels are waiting.

Go where the skies are always blue.

And if heaven has a place for memories, I’ll find my way back to you.

One last goodbye, godmother.

But this isn’t goodbye forever.

I’ll keep your love [singing] inside my heart and carry it with me >> [music] >> forever.

Every song that you left behind will remind me of your life.

Every dream I dare >> [singing] >> to follow will keep [music] you by my side.

One >> [screaming] >> last goodbye, >> [music] >> godmother.

I don’t want to let you go.

But if heaven needs an angel, then I know where you must [singing and music] go.

You were my family, my guide, my friend, my home.

And even though you’re gone from here, I’ll never be alone.

So sleep beneath the Tennessee stars and rest your [singing and music] beautiful heart.

I’ll love you through every tomorrow, >> [music] >> even though we’re worlds apart.

One last goodbye, Godmother.

>> [music] >> One last [music] tear.

One last whisper from my heart.

I love you.

I miss you.

Until we meet again.

I still remember [singing] your voice in the morning calling my name like [music] everything was all right.

You always knew how to make me smile, even when I was falling apart inside.

You weren’t just a star that people [music] loved.

You were the woman I could always [singing] run to when the world became too heavy for me.

[music] I knew I could [singing] always find my way to you.

You taught me how to dream [music and singing] without fear, how to stand when the world said fall.

You gave me strength when I had none and somehow made [singing] me feel [music] 10 ft tall.

Now I’m holding back these tears, but they’re falling [singing] anyway.

[music] I never imagined I’d have to the courage to say goodbye [singing] today?

One last goodbye, Godmother.

One last kiss before [music and singing] you go.

One last moment holding you >> [music] >> before heaven takes you [singing] home.

You were my light in the darkness, [music] my shelter [singing] from the storm, the one who could make my broken heart [music] feel [singing] safe and warm.

One last goodbye, Godmother.

I wish I could turn back time.

If I had one more minute with you, I’d tell [music and singing] you that you changed my life.

>> [music] >> You showed me that [singing] kindness matters, that a gentle heart can [music] still be strong.

You taught me to keep chasing dreams even when [singing and music] everything felt wrong.

You remembered where [music] you came from, those mountains that you called your home.

And everywhere your music traveled, you made somebody [music and singing] feel less alone.

You gave so much to this world, but somehow you always gave me more.

A little courage, a little laughter, and a reason to keep moving forward.

[singing] >> [music] >> Now your chair is standing empty, and your laughter fills my dreams.

I’m learning that goodbye can hurt more than anything I’ve ever seen.

One [music] last goodbye, godmother.

One last kiss before you go.

One last moment holding you before [music] heaven takes you home.

You were my light in the darkness, my >> [music] >> shelter from the storm.

The woman who could make my broken heart [music] feel [singing] safe and warm.

One last goodbye, godmother.

I wish I could turn back time.

If I had one more minute >> [music] >> with you, I’d tell you that you changed my life.

[music] If you can hear me from heaven, please know I’m trying to be strong.

I’ll carry every word you taught me everywhere I go.

From now on, when I chase the [music] dreams you believed in, I’ll imagine you standing [singing] by my side.

And whenever I feel like giving up, I’ll remember how you taught me to try.

No more pain, godmother.
