Memories of two sisters playing in the backyard.
The girl who played the teacher in a schoolyard
and I the unwilling participant, a student
Already wishing I could truant!
Then there were days I did not understand
those days when she had a ring on her hand
and pretended to wear a big princess dress
Although I may have felt a little unrest
She looked so happy, that girl in the dress......
This girl was always putting others first
Being that way must have been a curse
For I can remember times as a child
when I was down she could make me smile
I still can see after I cut my hand
I had such pain I could barely stand
She drew funny pictures for me
and laughing made it less scary.
She did all of this when I was a child
who picked on her and was a little wild
She had to put up with a lot from me
yes, I was difficult, but don't you see?
She was my big sister who I used to copy
I loved and admired, but I acted so cocky.
She, my big sister, pure of heart
I can't imagine my life without
My best friend, my sister, how lucky am I?
And now, after all this time has gone by,
we are adults, and you are now that princess
I understand the significance of that dress.
With a smile as big as the sky
Marnie, you finally found that guy.
who makes you smile, who sings to you
treats you like a princess with a love so true
No darkness can stop this love shining through
I have never seen you happier, I'm proud of you
Love your little- big sister :)
