Sister - Mary Lambert

When does it end

The grieving part

I was six you were nine we had nothing to laugh about

So I took my books

I wanted life in the pages

I was lost, I was sad I had nothing to live for

See

It’s not so bad when you’re laughing

It’s not so bad when you’re smiling

Sister I…

Forgetting how it was

Maybe that’s…

A blessing

I drove my car

Down our old street

We were young, we were scared, we had miles to go

You told your jokes

I sang my sad songs

We were tired, we were strong, but, mama said «Babies hold on»

And see

It’s not so bad when you’re laughing

It’s not so bad when you’re smiling

See

It’s not so bad when you’re laughing

It’s not so bad when you’re smiling

Sister I…

Forgetting how it was

Maybe that’s…

A blessing

But see

It’s not so bad when you’re laughing

It’s not so bad when you’re smiling
