SISTER

Words and music by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers (Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers Music/ASCAP)

i have a little sister

but we never got to play

she said hello and said goodbye

the very same day

daddy was so quiet

mommy cried and cried

grandma took me to the park

my parents stayed inside

i have a little sister

i saw her foot slide far

across my mommy’s belly

like a shooting star

i painted her some pictures

of a rainbow on the bay

my sister took them with her

when she went away

people see my family

my brother and me

they say that we have two kids

but i know we have three

i have a little sister

this year she will be two

i like to think of all the things

she and i could do

we’d strum the ukulele

and race the wooden cars

and when she grew up big enough

i’d teach her monkey bars

people see my family

my brother and me

they say that we have two kids

but i know we have three i have a little sister

she’s somewhere up above

i send her secret wishes

and messages of love

she plays with every sister

and brother who is there

on a rainbow-colored playground

floating through the air

i have a little sister

and though it makes me sad

i like to do my puzzles

and wrestle with my dad

my brother does this wiggle

he dances like a clown

sometimes i don’t mind it when

he follows me around

we are all a family

branches on a tree

my sister is my sister

and she will always be
