Edward

You swear your best day ever was September sixty-one

The day you got a baby sister, and our story had begun

We're a year and a day apart, but I still like to tease

You're my "much older brother," but you're everything to me

A hard worker with the biggest heart I've ever known

You've been a steady shelter every time the wind has blown

Every little girl needs an older brother

To show her how to stand and be strong

Edward, you're my hero and my best friend

The one who's had my back all along

You're wise and you're funny, you've always been my rock

I'm saying this with everything it takes

I love you more than words could ever measure

And nobody could ever take your place

I still think about the days we spent fishing in the mud

Running wild and getting dirty, it's right there in our blood

Taking trips up to Wisconsin, water skiing on the lake

Those are the kind of memories that time can never take

We'd play hide and seek down in the basement in the dark

Even when I couldn't see, you were my guiding spark

Every little girl needs an older brother

To show her how to stand and be strong

Edward, you're my hero and my best friend

The one who's had my back all along

You're wise and you're funny, you've always been my rock

I'm saying this with everything it takes

I love you more than words could ever measure

And nobody could ever take your place

You started dating some of my friends, I didn't like that phase

I'd roll my eyes and shake my head at your romantic ways

But then you met my friend Cheryl, and everything just clicked

You built a beautiful life together, the perfect match to pick

And when I had my boys, you stepped right up to the line

The best uncle they could ask for, giving all your time

'Cause every little girl needs an older brother

To show her how to stand and be strong

Edward, you're my hero and my best friend

The one who's had my back all along

You're wise and you're funny, you've always been my rock

I'm saying this with everything it takes

I love you more than words could ever measure

And nobody could ever take your place

No, nobody could ever take your place
