The Words You Still Remember

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some friendships start like summer rain, You never see them coming in. Two girls inside a school hallway, No clue where forever begins. Then you moved off to the town school, And the years just slipped away. [Chorus] But we never skip a beat, Like the miles were never there, You're my sister, my best friend, God's own answer to a prayer. I love you to the moon and back, To infinity and beyond, I swear. [Verse 2] Babies came and families grew, Life led us down different roads, Then I came home and there you were, Working for my brother, heart of gold. You still know every single word Of the song I sang you that day. [Chorus] But we never skip a beat, Like the miles were never there, You're my sister, my best friend, God's own answer to a prayer. I love you to the moon and back, To infinity and beyond, I swear. [Bridge] We've walked through what no mother should, Carried more than hearts should hold, And when I climbed out of the dark, You held my hand and kept me whole. [Verse 3] Nona, you care for everyone, Your kids, your friends, your grandbabies too, You always put yourself last, So this time, girl, this one's for you. Nine long years and states between, You're still my rock, my biggest cheer. [Chorus] But we never skip a beat, Like the miles were never there, You're my sister, Nona, my best friend, God's own answer to a prayer. I love you to the moon and back, To infinity and beyond, I swear. [Outro] Thank the Lord for you, Nona, To the moon and back, and beyond.
