Kristy

Thirty-five years of sharing the road

Helping me carry the weight of the load

Through the thick and the thin, the highs and the lows

You’re the one constant this life of mine knows

From the days we were young to the women we are

You’ve been my compass, my bright guiding star

Oh, Kristy, I’m thankful, I’m grateful, I’m blessed

If I dreamed up a sister, you'd outshine the rest

You’re fiercely protective, you’re funny and sweet

You make this whole family feel so complete

But the greatest of gifts that you give, I believe

Is the way that you love us all wholeheartedly

You’re the first one to laugh when a good joke is told

With a kind, gentle spirit that never grows old

But if anyone threatens the family you love

You’ll fight like a lion when push comes to shove

It’s a beautiful balance, the fierce and the kind

The greatest companion that I'll ever find

Oh, Kristy, I’m thankful, I’m grateful, I’m blessed

If I dreamed up a sister, you'd outshine the rest

You’re fiercely protective, you’re funny and sweet

You make this whole family feel so complete

But the greatest of gifts that you give, I believe

Is the way that you love us all wholeheartedly

If I tried to imagine the best sister on earth

She wouldn't come close to what your love is worth

Through the thick and the thin, you’ve been right by my side

My lifelong defender, my joy and my pride

Oh, Kristy, I’m thankful, I’m grateful, I’m blessed

If I dreamed up a sister, you'd outshine the rest

You’re fiercely protective, you’re funny and sweet

You make this whole family feel so complete

But the greatest of gifts that you give, I believe

Is the way that you love us all wholeheartedly

Yeah, thirty-five years and it’s still plain to see

I’m blessed that you’re sharing this lifetime with me
