Sisters Across Miles

Hey big sister, I just wanted to say

I love you more than these miles can weigh

I wanted you to know

my life has grown

Out in Austin, Texas,

I have made a home

I found a good man,

my husband Jon

And I still hear your laugh when the day is long

You are in North Carolina,

I am far from your door But a sister's love

can cross any road

Every mile just teaches me more

Big sister, little sister,

the bond stays true

From Carolina hills

to Austin blue

I have a new family,

but I still need you

Big sister, I love you

There is John Junior

with his sleepy eyes

And Tessa Rose like a sunrise prize

Two little hearts

learning who we are

I tell them about their auntie,

living far

If I could fold this map tonight I would set my kitchen

by your side

Till then, my heart keeps writing

Your little sister is still nearby

Big sister, little sister,

the bond stays true

From Carolina hills

to Austin blue

I have a new family,

but I still need you

Big sister, I love you Big sister,

I love you

Your little sister loves you

Always
