You're so far away

You're so far away

but you're here
in my heart every day.
I know how lucky I am
to have a sister like you
You're not just family
but my best friend too
I only wish that you
lived closer to me
so we could get together
to share over a cup of tea
But even though you're not here
it's such a good feeling
to know you're out there
sharing and caring
and making each day
so much brighter
in your own special way
All of the warmth you send
shines through
and there will always be
a place in my heart for you
