Big Sister

I Thought We Had More Time"

Verse 1

I never thought you'd leave me,

I figured we'd grow old.

Laughin' 'bout the crazy days,

Tellin' stories we've already told.

Life got in between us,

And pride got in the way.

Lord, I'd give anything right now

For one more yesterday.

Verse 2

There's a picture on my nightstand,

Your smile still shines so bright.

And sometimes when the house gets still,

I swear I hear your voice at night.

We lost years over little things,

That never mattered much.

Now I'd trade this whole world away

For just one more hug.

Chorus

I thought we had more time,

I thought tomorrow would always come.

Never dreamed I'd have to learn

How to live with you being gone.

And if Heaven's got a front porch,

I hope you're sittin' there in the light.

Save a chair for me, big sister,

We'll make things right one day.

Verse 3

I carry all the words I never said,

The "I love yous" I held inside.

I wish I'd called a little more,

And put our differences aside.

But I know your heart was bigger

Than all the foolish things we knew.

And I pray that somehow, somewhere,

You know how much I loved you.

Bridge

The wind still blows across these fields,

Like it's carryin' your name.

And every sunset in the evening sky

Just ain't looked the same.

People say that time heals all,

But I don't know if that's true.

I just know there's an empty place

That belonged to you.

Final Chorus

I thought we had more time,

I thought there'd be another day.

I never thought I'd have to watch

You slowly slip away.

But until the Lord calls me home,

And I see your smile again,

I'll carry you inside my heart

Until the very end.

Outro

I never thought you'd leave me,

Lord, I thought we had more time...
