Song Description

The special bond sisters have

Lyrics

Verse: my Sister says I do everything the hard way
and that I'm the girl who always needs a little more
she says I cried from the minute I came home
till she gave me her favorite teddy bear it was the only thing that worked now who can open a heart that fast
and not worry bout getting hurt?

Chorus: sister can and sisters do
it's just how they are since the day they knew
there's someone on this earth they gotta look out for
that'll take their side against the big ol world
no one shares those heartbreaks and laughs at their mistakes better than
sisters can

Verse: 16 years and my first real break-up later
she said "silly boys don't know a thing about a good thing"
we put a movie on and settled on the couch
with a bowl of buttery popcorn
chocolate wrappers all over the place
who can get you through a night like that
with a smile on your face

(Chorus)

Bridge: She married a soldier and he went away
they got a little girl, and a baby on the way
she called me and she cried
"I'm here all alone and I'm needing someone
I know it's too far 2 days in a car

Chorus: but sister can and sisters do
I just caught a plane and man I flew
and when the baby came, well whadaya know
there was one more girl in the big ol world
and later on just down the hall
at 5 years and 3 feet tall
was a little girl peering through the glass
trying to understand it all
When a nurse said, "it's okay, to come on in....sisters can"
