Light on South Capitol Street

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On South Capitol Street a light was born, A gentle soul to greet the morning. Raised up in Suffolk, faith and grace, A tender heart, a shining face. She dared to climb where doors were closed, A nurse who healed the ones she chose. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, God has blessed her days, A queen of love in every kind of way. She always says "Yes, indeedy," with that laugh so free, Elaine Bullock Watson, you're everything to me. Ninety and five, still lighting our way, We lift you up and celebrate today. [Verse 2] Nick at Night and errands run, The dogs, the laughter, oh what fun. A city girl who won a country man, Junius held her heart and hand. Piano keys and voices ring, Around her table, how we sing. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, God has blessed her days, A queen of love in every kind of way. She always says "Yes, indeedy," with that laugh so free, Elaine Bullock Watson, you're everything to me. Ninety and five, still lighting our way, We lift you up and celebrate today. [Bridge] Beautiful and gentle to the eye, But inner strength no storm could ever deny. Through every trial you carried on, An angel here till the morning's gone. [Verse 3] Three children grown, and grandkids too, Great-grands still coming, all of them love you. Your legacy of faith will last, A love that holds the future fast. Nana, know the seeds you sow, Bloom in every heart you know. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, God has blessed her days, A queen of love in every kind of way. Elaine, you're loved beyond what words can say, We lift you up and celebrate today. [Outro] Yes indeedy, our guiding star, Nana, we love you just as you are.
