oh sister my dear I wish that you were here and i wish that you could hear this song that i sing oh sister my dear i wish that you were here and maybe your babies would sing along with me oh sister my dear its too bad you had to leave I never got a chance to tell you you're my favorite family that imaginary mouse that you gave to me has always been one of my favorite memories oh sister my dear you know that everyone agreed losing you and your babies was our biggest tradgedy for the first time in my life i saw my daddy cry and everyone kept asking oh why oh why and i asked god to save at least your little baby but he let me down and thats when i decided that there must not be any god around oh sister my dear how old would your baby be if you would have brought him to our house on that halloween it was 1984 so i guess he'd be 19 I wonder oh wonder what he would think of me i'll pray for your lover the one you left behind the one you left behind the father of your children who lost his whole life you family was trying your future was so bright and all anyone could say is that just isnt right and you used to sing to me oh yeah life goes on long after the thrill of livin is gone oh yeah life goes on long after the thrill of livin is gone and i hope that you are right and i hope that i am wrong and i hope that those are more than words to a silly song yeah i hope that you are right and i hope that i am wrong oh sister my dear they said the only one to blame was the electricity that made the spark that made the flame with your babies in your arms you tried so hard to flee but then the darkness filled your lungs and it put you all to sleep
