Not A Care In The World!
Not a care in the world! They have all dropped away,
I am high in the hills, I am happy today.
Not a care in the world! 1 am dawn by the sea. With the wind and the waves Telling me I amfree.
Not a care in the world! ^ In the silence Ive entered.
And my heart and my head On the Father Ive centered.
Not a care in the world! All the work now is done
By the Father within. And the victory won.
The family wishes to thank each of you for your prayers, cards, visits, telephone calls, support, and all forms of sincere expressions during our bereavement. May God bless each of you.
