Lyrics

F A Bb
Cape Town 1930 The Sun was Shinning Bright
She Came into the World
Just like a Rae of Light
Wasn’t very long before
She caught all the good boys Eyes
At 18 she was snatched up and Married
Settled by the oceans Tides.

C Dm Bb F Fsus F
Rae Soaks up the Sun and Smiles the Rain away
Rae Even a song could never tell how much your loved by all

An Optumist at Heart, She shines
No matter what the Cards in her Hand
She kept on her toes movin brightly between the
Cape and the Promised Land
The love I have for you, is greater
then the all the stars And all the sands

Rae Soaks up the Sun and Smiles the Rain away
Rae even a song could never tell how much your loved by all

G dm/B or D/B C


Hi Safta, Ari here. I am honored to be your frist grandson, and to be in the company of this amazing family that you have created.

Without you not only would I not exist, but my loving mother, your daughter Gail would also not be here with out you! and same with all the rest of this wonderful family. You are the source of our lives!

I have so many wonderful and only joyous memories of visiting you or having you visit us here in the United States.

I wish I could be there with you on your 90th Birthday I love you so much, you have always been such an inspiration, and hold the most special of places in my heart always!
