From the start we were a pair
Where you used to hang out, yeah I’d be there
Always your old hand me downs that I’d wear

Naughty kids, sneaking out after dark
Secretly playing with our buddies in the park
Lighting fires, roasting marshmallows, having a lark

Have we lost one another
Are we worlds apart
Sister dear sister
You will never fall short
Always this connection
Straight from the heart

We could take on the world, you and me
Side by side wherever we would be
We were besties, BFF’s by decree

Pulling your hair and scratching your skin
Trying to wipe away that stupid horrid grin
What’s the use, I quit, you always win

Have we lost one another
Are we worlds apart
Sister dear sister
You will never fall short
Always this connection
Straight from the heart

Have we lost one another
Are we worlds apart
Sister dear sister
You will never fall short
Always this connection
Straight from the heart

Solo ABA

Standing up to you has taught me a lot
You were there if I got myself in a knot
How you stuck by me is something I never forgot

Have we lost one another
Are we worlds apart
Sister dear sister
You will never fall short
Always this connection
Straight from the heart

Have we lost one another
Are we worlds apart
Sister dear sister
You will never fall short
Always this connection
Straight from the heart

I miss every inch of you
The look behind your eyes
Very distant sometimes
The way you seemed so wise

And light-footed at times
I miss every inch of you
I miss every inch of you
the beauty of your hair
the sunshine in your smile
the way you always cared
and often could beguile

I miss every inch of you

I miss every inch of you
your arms, your legs,
your skin your toes,
your knees,
your scent the way
your love has been
the way our lives went
I miss every inch of you

I miss every inch of you
I miss every inch of you

You are a light to me
You shine for all to see
May you be loved ev’ry day ev’ry day ev’ry day
Your path be blessed on the way on the way on the way

As you move on in life
Let there be happiness in your life
Make every day a melody melody melody
Be all that you set out to be out to be out to be

I don’t care for chatter
I don’t give a hoot
Talking about nothing
I’ll give you the boot

No one is that shallow
There must be more to you
There is a deeper meaning
Please give me a clue

Show me the real you
I promise to be careful
Show me the real you
I’m trying to be mindful
Please show me the real you

I want depth of meaning
I want to feel your soul
I need to get to know you
All of you, the whole

Show me the real you
I promise to be careful
Show me the real you
I’m trying to be mindful
Please show me the real you

Tell me who you truly are
Let me see inside your heart
Let go of acts and masks and stuff
Stop playing a fake part

I want to know your dreams
What really makes you tick
I am okay with shadows
Your dark side, your kick

Show me the real you
I promise to be careful
Show me the real you
I’m trying to be mindful
Please show me the real you

Show me the real you
I promise to be careful
Show me the real you
I’m trying to be mindful
Please show me the real you

If I‘d been a fibber I’d have told you one
If I’d been a winner I’d have won you one
If I were poetic I’d write you one
If I were heroic I’d fight you one

I am a woman, I am a daughter
I am a sister, I am a mother
I am a friend, I am a lover
That’s why we hold one another

If I were angelic I’d dance you one
If I were romantic I’d romance you some
If I’d been more patient I’d have waited some
If I were less ancient I’d have aged you some

I am your woman, I am your daughter
I am your sister, I am your mother
I am your friend, I am your lover
That’s why we hold one another
