Mom and brother

Mom loved her family, and she loved the Lord

Her outfits always matching, of that you could be sure

She’d speak her mind freely, she told it so straight

An outspoken woman who carried her weight

At her granddaughter's kindergarten graduation walk

Her skirt hit the walkway and caused quite a shock

She just pulled it right up and kept walking by

We all laughed so hard that we started to cry

To know them was to love them, two peas in a pod

Now they're resting together in the arms of God

July twenty-ninth, that head-on crash

Took you both away in a sudden flash

It changed my life forever, I miss you every day

The hardest part of all is I didn't get to say

Goodbye before you walked right out the door

If I knew it was the last time, I'd have hugged you longer, hugged you more

My brother worked hard, he was one of a kind

Always cracking a joke to mess with your mind

He'd look right at you with a serious grin

"The human head weighs eight pounds," he'd tell you again

He used to climb up in the branches of the big oak tree

With water balloons where nobody could see

He'd throw them at cars that were driving on by

I'll cherish those memories until the day I die

To know them was to love them, two peas in a pod

Now they're resting together in the arms of God

July twenty-ninth, that head-on crash

Took you both away in a sudden flash

It changed my life forever, I miss you every day

The hardest part of all is I didn't get to say

Goodbye before you walked right out the door

If I knew it was the last time, I'd have hugged you longer, hugged you more

I love you both so much, more than words can say

I carry your laughter with me every single day

The heaviest burden is the pain of no goodbye

I just want to hold you while the years go passing by

To know them was to love them, two peas in a pod

Now they're resting together in the arms of God

July twenty-ninth, that head-on crash

Took you both away in a sudden flash

It changed my life forever, I miss you every day

The hardest part of all is I didn't get to say

Goodbye before you walked right out the door

If I knew it was the last time, I'd have hugged you longer

Yeah, I would have hugged you longer, hugged you more
