Big Sister’s Promise

(oooh) We used to build our castles

Out of blankets on the floor You’d steal the best seat by

the window Then I’d chase you to the door

We learned to push each other’s buttons

Learned exactly what to say

But underneath the slammed doors

Love was never far away

Time can change the places

That we wake up every day

But it can’t change the promise That I made along the way

No matter what happens

No matter what we say

No matter how the arguments

Keep getting in the way

If the world feels heavy

And you don’t know where to start

You’ll always have your big sister

Living in your heart

And no matter how far I am

Across the miles, across the blue I will always be your big

sister

And I’ll always come back to you

You might not need my advice now

You might roll your eyes and laugh

You might say I’m being stubborn

And I might say the same right back

We’ll have our days of thunder

We’ll have words we wish we’d missed But nothing in this lifetime

Can undo a bond like this

You are more than every moment

When we couldn’t see eye to eye You’re the little boy I

carried

And the man I’m proud to know tonight

If you’re lost, call my name

If you’re hurting, don’t hide the pain

If you’re standing on your own

You’ll never have to stand alone

And if we lose a little time If life pulls you from

my side The love between us won’t disappear

I’ll be right here,

year after year

No matter what happens

No matter where we go

No matter how the seasons turn Or how the years unfold

When the road feels lonely

And the night gets hard to get through

You’ll always have your big sister

Holding on to you

And no matter how far I am Past the cities,

past the stars

You will always be my little brother You will always have my

heart

So fight with me,

forgive me Grow beyond the things we

knew

No matter what this life

brings I’ll always be here

for you No

matter what happens No matter where you are

You’ll

always be

my little brother And I’ll always be your big sister

(always

be...)
