Sister (2/9/14)

And though you may not know me,
I’m wrapped around your finger.
From the day that I first saw you,
I knew you were a winner.

For you’d I’d stop the sun,
From blinding you with light.
I’d drain the ocean of every drop,
Before I could stand to see you cry.
And though you may not get to hear,
I keep you in thoughts and prayers,
Because having a little sister as beautiful as you,
Is worth all of the painful tears.

To watch you grow,
I’d give so much up.
It tears me apart,
That I’ll never be known.

I still remember the morning you recognized me,
It brought tears to my eyes.
But now when I see you,
I’m nothing but a stranger and you hide.

The stars will shine so bright for you,
I’ll make sure of that.
Even if I’m hiding in the shadows.
Hiding in the shadows.

For you’d I’d stop the sun,
From blinding you with light.
I’d drain the ocean of every drop,
Before I could stand to see you cry.
And though you may not get to hear,
I keep you in thoughts and prayers,
Because having a little sister as beautiful as you,
Is worth all of the painful tears.

Very sad and haunting... Is this a very personal song?

I'm glad you're back.......this is a good addition to your collection of songs.....not your best,not your worst.It's solid,but I feel it's more a country or slow song.....correct?
The out pouring of replies is overwhelming................NOT!!!

Kerry.....when you first came to this site you posted some of the most extraordinary songs I've ever seen.It's difficult to keep that high of song lyric in every song.But,keep trying........but don't get down if you don't,for awhile,post on that level.I know you put your "best foot forward" when you first came here.Just do your best........some will hit,some will miss.That call songwriting!
