Touching a cheek so soft and tender br A feeling of boundless joy captures me br My little sister is staring at me br And my heart is filled with warmth br br Out of her sleep, and straight to me br Tears flow down her cheeks br Only her brother's voice can clear br 'Don't cry, Ellie, big brother will always be here' br br With a smile so genuine br And a face so innocent br She stares at me br With those little eyes that could make me pluck stars out of the sky br br My heart is glad, and my soul rejoices br I found my peace in the eyes of my sister br With a face so beautiful br I could swear she surpassed the beauty of angels br br Out of my arms, she ran to play br So hard to imagine she would ever grow up and leave me br Call me selfish but what can I say br My little sister loves me and I love her toobr br Ronald Dokubr br
