Verse 1: Jonathan Oatley and Amy Champlin's child Born to South Kingstown's coastline wild One of fourteen children growing strong and free Learning how to make a home beside the sea Verse 2: Henry White's beloved on that June day When wedding bells rang out along the way To Killingly they went to build their life Where love would grow through joy and strife Chorus: Amy Frances Oatley, your light still shines today Through the lives you nurtured before you slipped away Your hands were always busy, your heart was always full Weaving love through everything, making life beautiful Verse 3: Ellen Frances first, then Julia E. Emily Elizabeth, making three Henry J. and then a daughter brief Frederick J. completed their family tree Bridge: Each child carried forward your gentle grace Ellen, Julia, Emily showing the way Henry and Frederick, your sons so dear Though some left early, your love stayed near Through generations flowing down Your spirit lives in Killingly town Verse 4: Now in Bartlett Cemetery you rest Among the souls that heaven blessed Your children's children speak your name Keeping bright your lasting flame Chorus: Amy Frances Oatley, your light still shines today Through the lives you nurtured before you slipped away Your hands were always busy, your heart was always full Weaving love through everything, making life beautiful Outro: Amy Frances Oatley White, your light still shines today Through generations, showing us the way Amy Frances Oatley White, your light still shines... Your light still shines...
