She lights up the room
with a beautiful smile
her laughter so soft,
but carries far in my soul

Her short hazel hair lies curly and fine
her fingers so soft and so sure

but her smile is what I love most of all
I've known it since I was two

she may never know
how beautiful she is
that darling sweet sister of mine

I cherish her heart
her warm soft embrace
and laughter we've shared
late at night

I treasure her soul
it's a beautiful thing;
and I'm glad to have known it so long

I hope that some day
when we have both grown
she'll find a man just as worthy
who'll cherish her heart more than me

she is my soul sister, my friend to the last

I watched as you took you took your first step,
I watched as you stepped up to your first day of school.
I watched as you stepped up to bat
I watched as stepped up to being a teen
I watched as you took a step to your first date
I watched as you stepped up to receive your diploma
I watched as you took a step out of my house
I watched as you stepped up to adulthood
I watched as you took a step down the aisle
I watched as you took a step to hold your first child

And now from my bed, I see you step up close to me
as I take my last step to sleep.
I have watched you take your first step,
and now this one will be my last.

Nothing to to do
nowhere to be
no friends calling you
no parents bugging me
nothing to do
but lie in the grass
with your hand in mine
as we gaze at the sky
the stars are coming
shining just for us

Nothing to do
nowhere to be
no warm hand beside me
no one holding me
not a cloud in the sky
how lonesome it must be
the moon's all alone
the stars ran away

nothing to do
nowhere to be

how lonesome it must seem
