You wipe the tears from my face and take me to a better place.
You always know how to make me smile, You've known how to do that for a while.

You are my light when it is dark, you are my warmth when it is cold.
And I know that you'll always have my back, Even when we're tired and old.

You're my bestest friend, You've always been,
Even when fight, Even when you're mean.

If someone asked me, right here right now, who do I trust the most in the world?
I'd simply smile and then reply, "Of course my sister! She is my world!"

I love you with all my heart. I love you with all my soul.
You're everything and more to me, To just be like you is my goal.

You're my friend, You're my teacher,
You're my life, You're my sister.
