SISTER DEAR, I LOVE YOU SO

Sister dear, I love you so! As the seasons come and go, Dearer still, my friend, you grow. Sister dear, I love you so! Sister dear, I love you so! Ah, forgive each thoughtless blow; Though I’ve often hurt you—oh, Sister dear, I love you so! Sister dear, I love you so! May love’s flame still brighter glow, Friendship’s fires ne’er burn low.— Sister dear, I love you so! Sister dear, I love you so! As your birthdays come and go, Let me whisper, soft and low, Sister dear, I love you so! Sister dear, I love you so! When life’s fires dimmer glow, Take this with you, as you go, Sister dear, I love you so!
