Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You were my only sister, just a few years ahead
Dirt-streaked glove on your hand, you taught me how to stead
On the softball diamond, you showed me how to fight
You'd hold my trembling shoulder and wait up through the night
You were always there when I needed someone to know
A porch light and a promise, the steady in my shadow
[Chorus]
Twenty-one years, a river wide
But you're still my sister by my side
Miles of silence can't change what's true
No distance can take my heart from you
Twenty-one years, a river wide
But you're still my sister by my side
[Verse 2]
We grew up shoulder-deep in cousins, laughter and the yard
Family Sunday dinners, the rules we learned by heart
Your boys and my girls never got that same backyard swing
Kimberly still misses you, Melissa never learned to sing
Mom and Dad would be disappointed to see the space between
Those photos on the mantle where our childhood used to be
You were there when I lost Nicole — my rock, my voice of reason
Late-night calls and quiet hands through every heavy season
[Pre-Chorus]
We talked and laughed and cried until the daylight came
Then years slipped slow like rivers and we kept each other’s name
[Chorus]
Twenty-one years, a river wide
But you're still my sister by my side
Miles of silence can't change what's true
No distance can take my heart from you
Twenty-one years, a river wide
But you're still my sister by my side
[Bridge]
There are songs that pull me under, and some that lift me up
A melody will catch me and I'll reach for your old cup
I remember you saying my last name — how much I look like Mom
A small, stubborn truth that keeps my memory warm
We wasted so many years, and I carry all the tears
But every time I say your name it sounds like home again
[Final Chorus]
Twenty-one years, a river wide
Jena, I whisper, I'm still by your side
I'm proud of you, I love you, I won't walk away
No matter how you feel, I’ll be here to stay
Twenty-one years, a river wide
Jena, my big sister — I need you tonight
[Outro]
Forever and always, your little sister, Michelle
