My favorite sister (we would joke that I will be her only favorite sister and she as mine), will be coming home from an 18 months volunteer service this second week of November. I’m excited to see her and chat until the wee hours of the morning! (which would be impossible now because Danielle can’t sleep without me beside her)… It’s amazing how time flies by so quickly. We were once small kids running around the neighborhood, then teenagers- although I was older by 4 years- to young adults who love to splurge on food. As my only flesh and blood sister, thinking of her brings good memories.. I remembered too the theme song I copied for her- which I would like to borrow too for Danielle. You’ll Be in My Heart by Phil Collins has always struck a chord in my heart. I love the lyrics. Simple but profound. So, I’m posting the lyrics- which I hope you will enjoy too:
You’ll Be In My Heart
From “Tarzan”
words and music by Phil Collins
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don’t you cry
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can’t be broken
I will be here don’t you cry
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You’ll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You’ll be here in my heart in my
heart always
Always
Hi–such a thoughtful post. And so sweet to read how close you feel to her (smile). There are many families where the siblings aren’t close, so this is a nice reminder of what can be.
