Sister

We grew up together
 In the same little town
 On the same street
 In the same house
 In the same hand-me-downs
 We shared the same room
 And we played the same games
 But I never knew you
 ♪
 Our daddy was gone
 And our momma worked hard
 So we acted out dreams
 In our little backyard
 We were cowgirls and pirates
 And gypsies and queens
 But I never knew you
 Could we go back to when we were children?
 The best of sisters
 But never friends
 You were a stranger then
 You are a stranger now
 Could we ever be children again?
 ♪
 When Mama would spank us 'cause she thought we did wrong
 I'd keep my tears to myself
 I thought I had to be strong
 But sometimes I'd hurt you
 Just to make you cry
 So someone would need me
 ♪
 Your eyes would betray what your heart held inside
 I wanted to love you
 But instead
 I would hide
 ♪
 And now the years have flown by
 And all our lies have been told
 My children grown stronger
 While we've just grown old
 I miss you and I love you
 And I pray it's not true
 That you've never known me
 Could we go back to when we were children?
 The best of sisters
 But never friends
 You were a stranger then
 You are a stranger now
 Could we ever be children ever again?
 Could we ever be children again?
 Could we ever be children again?
