Sister Of My Heart

We met out in a sandbox,Two little girls with scraped-up knees,

Building castles in the sunshine, Sharing secrets on the breeze.

Older brothers you had one I had two, But somehow from the very start,

We became the family that lived inside each other's hearts.

You were the sister I never had, the best friend God could send.

Through every season of my life, you were there around each bend.

From the sandbox to the gray hairs, from first dreams to broken parts,

You weren't just my best friend, you were the sister of my heart.

Skateboards rolling down the sidewalk, summer bikes and swimming pools,

Uncle Lenny's camp adventures, two inseparable little fools.

Palm Springs sunshine, Tahoe mornings, sleepovers that never seemed to end.

Laughing till our stomachs hurt at jokes nobody else would understand.

You were the sister I never had, the best friend God could send.

Through every season of my life, you were there around each bend.

From the sandbox to the gray hairs, from first dreams to broken parts,

You weren't just my best friend, you were the sister of my heart.

You lit up every room you entered, with your smile and your wild laugh.

The cheerleader who made me feel like I belonged in every photograph.

You used to joke we'd be old ladies, at some smoky little bar someday.

But fate had other plans, and took you much too soon away.

You were the sister I never had, the best friend God could send.

Through every season of my life, you were there around each bend.

From the sandbox to the gray hairs, from first dreams to broken parts,

You weren't just my best friend, you were the sister of my heart.

you were the sister of my heart.
