Johnny Vaqueiro - Far Away Sister

We shared a room with a window view,
Fields of green and skies so blue.
Her dolls lined up, my trucks on the floor,
Two kids divided by an unlocked door.
I'd tease and laugh, never knowing then,
That time would slip so fast, my friend.
A squeaky old bed where we'd sleep at night,
Never thought those days would fade from sight.

I stole the front seat every time,
Never shared my piece of pie
I was the king, you were the crowd,
I'd tease you till tears ran down.
I didn't see your hurt inside,
You had dreams, I had my pride.
Didn't know love could feel out of place,
Till I saw the sadness on your face.

Now the years have gone, like rivers they flow,
And there's so much I wish I'd let you know.

Far away sister, miles and years apart,
You're a voice across the sea, deep in my heart.
For every word I left unsaid,
For the times I chose anger instead
I wish I knew, I wish I'd tried,
To be the one right by your side.

You packed your bags and moved away,
I barely said goodbye that day.
You reached for me, I turned away,
Thinking we'd have another day.
Your wedding came, I stood by your side,
But words froze up when I looked in your eyes.
Years drifted on like a slow, steady stream,
I woke up one day, you were just a dream.

We'd fight for space, we'd slam the doors,
Counted wins, ignored the scores
You needed love, I gave you none,
Now I can't undo what's been done.
Now your laughter's just a voice online,
And I'd trade the world to rewind the time.

How many chances did I throw away?
Thinking we'd always have another day?

Far away sister, far from here, far from me,
I carry this weight, you're a voice across the sea.
For every word I left unsaid,
For the times I chose my pride instead
Oh, I wish I'd been kinder, I wish I'd been wise,
Held onto your laughter, not let it slip by.

The phone's in my hand, but what do I say?
How do you bridge a lifetime this way?
If I could go back, I'd take your hand,
No teasing words, no shifting sand.
I'd build a bridge, I'd mend the years,
Trade all my pride for all your tears.
I'd trade the world to rewind the time,
To hear your voice, to make things right.

Far away sister, but not anymore
I'm reaching out across this song.
For every word I should have said,
For choosing pride over love instead
Far away sister, I want you to know,
You're not just a voice, you're not alone.
I miss my sister, wish I'd held you near,
But here I am now. I'm finally here.
