Dinky

When I was just a baby, you didn't want me there

A little crying sister was a heavy cross to bear

But time has a way of changing how a story goes

We started running outside where the wild grass grows

Oh, Dinky, you'll never really know

How much you mean to me, how deep this feeling goes

You've been taking care of me since we were only small

My patient older sister, you catch me when I fall

We'd spend our summer days out playing in the dirt

You wouldn't let a single soul cause me any hurt

You fed me little mud pies beneath the open sky

My fierce protector with a watchful, loving eye

Oh, Dinky, you'll never really know

How much you mean to me, how deep this feeling goes

You've been taking care of me since we were only small

My patient older sister, you catch me when I fall

Now we're older, but you're still the one I trust

When the days get heavy and I need to clear the dust

You pull up in the driveway, and we go out for a ride

Just sipping on our coffee with my sister by my side

Oh, Dinky, you'll never really know

How much I truly love you, how deep this feeling goes

You've been taking care of me since we were only small

My patient older sister, you catch me when I fall

From the mud pies to the coffee, I love you through it all
