Lyrics Sister - Mary Lambert

Sister

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
