Sometimes, in the quiet
Of the night
I close my eyes and find myself
Taking flight
Back to when I was a child
I am little girl of only three
Sitting patiently by the door
Waiting for my sister Mary
She had started school
You see
She was my playmate
My very best friend
Always stood by me
Through thick and thin
No one could tease me
Or make me cry
‘Cause then her little
Fists would fly
And they would know
That this little girl
Would always stand up
For her sister then
Now we are grown
With kids of our own
But the more things change
The more they remain the same
Mary still looks out
For this “little” sister
Whether you are a Miss or Mister
She will put you in your place
And I have a feeling
This will always be the case
