I tried to find the right words, Words you would somehow know, To tell you that you're not forgotten, Before I had to go. I came a few minutes late, And suddenly you were gone, You had quietly slipped away, Before I could say goodbye. I walked again the old road From the days when I was small, You carried me down the mountain When I could no longer walk. I'd fainted there without breakfast, And you never once complained, You simply carried your little brother Through the sunshine and the rain. [Chorus – Both] So I hum this song of sorrow, Hoping somehow you can hear, Every word I couldn't tell you, Every memory held so dear. Though tonight I have my tears, And the road has reached its end, Your love will walk beside me Like an old and faithful friend. When I was lonely and afraid, You worried about my future, And the choices I had made. You tried to find me someone, A partner for my life... [Female, softly] I only hoped you'd find her... I was glad that you found her. Through my long and winding journey, While I chased a distant dream, You waited quietly across the ocean, More patient than you seemed. You hoped that I would someday return, With something good to share, To bring a little hope back home— But life would not be fair. [Chorus – Both] So I hum this song of sorrow, Hoping somehow you can hear, Every word I couldn't tell you, Every memory held so dear. Though tonight I have my tears, And the road has reached its end, Your love will walk beside me Like an old and faithful friend. [Bridge – Male] Decades came and decades faded, And you came to see me smile. You always brought a little sunshine From so many miles. My world had grown much stronger, While I watched you growing old, And I wish I had more time with you Before the story closed. Then I heard that you had left us, And I searched my heart to see If the years had given you enough Of what you gave to me. I hope the love I brought you Made you proud in some small way, And thank you for the blessings You gave me every day. [Final Chorus – Both, softer] So I hum this song of sorrow, But my tears will slowly cease. You have walked beyond the mountains To a place of quiet peace. And wherever your path leads you, May the light be warm and bright. Rest now, my dear older sister, And have a safe journey tonight. [Outro – Male] I came a few minutes late... But I will never be too late To remember you. [Soft instrumental outro]
