I remember you let wooly worms crawl on your arms
Out by the trailer next to the barn
When we were at our grandpa’s farm
I remember one thousand birthday parties
And a billion bitter I’m sorry’s
Then singing that song from Barney
Don’t you cry, Sister
You’re my oldest friend
And I know you’ll be till the end
When we grew older, we grew less fond of each other
I was a sit-com older brother
You probably wished you had another
I tried to make you laugh for every time I made you cry
Skinning our knees on bicycle rides
On the gravel side by side
Don’t you cry, Sister
You’re my oldest friend
And I know you’ll be ‘til the end
We’ve got our memories, but here’s to many more
Let’s spill these Legos all over the floor
To find the pieces we’re looking for
I see a future, and it’s my kids playing with yours
Laughing and running and slamming doors
Just like us so many years before
It’ll remind me of me and you
And all those things that we used to do
I’m so glad that it feels like we’re friends again
Just like in the beginning
Just like in the beginning
