Linda

I still think about that old wooden seat

Hanging from a branch just down the street

We’d take our turns on the neighbor’s swing

Laughing out loud at the joy it would bring

I’d push you high, then you’d push me

Just two sisters in the shade of the tree

Oh, Linda, you’ve always got an open door

Putting everybody else first, and then a little more

With a caring heart that never walks away

I thank God for my sister every single day

No matter the weather, you are always there

An answer to a lifelong prayer

Walking to church in our Sunday clothes

The whole family together, row by row

But we always kept an eye out down the road

For the neighborhood dog who’d break his hold

Old Duke would chase us, barking loud and fast

We'd run out of breath, but the memories last

Oh, Linda, you’ve always got an open door

Putting everybody else first, and then a little more

With a caring heart that never walks away

I thank God for my sister every single day

No matter the weather, you are always there

An answer to a lifelong prayer

We outgrew the swing set and the Sunday runs

But your tender heart hasn't changed since we were young

You're the first to step up when the times get tough

For a sister like you, I can't say thank you enough

Oh, Linda, you’ve always got an open door

Putting everybody else first, and then a little more

With a caring heart that never walks away

I thank God for my sister every single day

No matter the weather, you are always there

An answer to a lifelong prayer

Yeah, I thank God for you, Linda, every single day
