Growing Up
I called you one night/ Your voice excited, but filled with fright/ And you spoke to me soft and slow/ With the power of something I never knew I'd know/ and we talked for a little while/ On my face I wore a smile/ And I realized then I didn't know you so well/ And to the floor my heart just fell/ You spoke to me slowly and I was wondering why/ And all that time there was a tear trying to escape my eye/ I never let it fall/ For I don't like to cry at all/ You told me the stuff that's been going on/ In your life and with your son/ Then I asked you if you would talk to dad/ you said no and you sounded so very sad/ You sounded nervous at the very mention/ And in your voice I noticed the tension/ I'm sorry that I did ask you to/ But he had wanted to speak with you/ You said you loved me very much/ And I shouldn't worry if you don't call, but you'll try to keep in touch/ And with that I hung up the phone/ Only wishing I could go back in time to spend with you alone/
I know now why you spoke to me/ In that very way/ To you I'm still a 5 year old/ Cuz that's what you remember, that's who you've known/ But dearest sister I'm older now/ I know you understand somehow/ I've been doing lots of changing in these past few years/ Times filled with meaningless tears/ I know you don't mean to be/ Thinking that way of me/ Maybe we should talk more/ And you'll understand therefore/ I'm growing still I'm alive/ But I am not five/ I really wanna show you/ That I've grown up and who/ I've recently become/ But just remember....for you There will always be love/
Dearest sister, I'll tell you this/ When i lie in bed late at night, it's you I miss/ And I pray/ That one day/ We will talk and you will see/ The person that is me/ I don't know you as well as I hope/ I was too young...5 years old/ Though you have visited before/ But before I knew it you had walked out the door/ And you were on the next plane home/ I never got to spend with you alone/ The way I wanted to/ Just me and you/ Talking of old times..well what I remember back in those days/ I hope we do this before it's too late/ Just remember I've always loved you and always will/ You're apart of my family still.....
