Story behind the song
Michelle put her poem on Just Plain Folks Forum and I loved it straight away. It's a lovely story so many people can relate to. We started to collaborate on the song. It has been fantastic to collaboate with Michelle who was always positive, ready for changes and happy to wait for the music. Well, here is our song.
Lyrics
Sister Copyright© 2009 by Michelle Chapman (lyrics) and Nadia Cripps (music) Gemma E. (voice), Nadia Cripps (piano) I remember riding in the back seat you'd keep me from getting cold a little girl with brown eyes about eight years old I had a few years on you I was a little taller Toughest girl I ever knew was a little bit smaller I remember the day mama brought you home I said "take her back to from where she came" But you grew on me so quickly without you, my life, would never be the same Just not sure If I've ever told you and I write this here in tears little girl, I love you so I miss our younger years The room that we shared our talks about boys Even our little fights over your weeble wobble toys You were always so much tougher than all of the other little girls I wanted to be just like you With your big brown eyes and curls Baby sister, have I never told you It's you that I adore We were tough little soldier girls Living in the middle of a war But I always knew if things got bad and I'd come under attack You'd come and put your arms around me you always watched my back I'm so very glad that on that day that mama didn't bring home a brother Amy, I'm your biggest fan You are a sister like no other.
