The bond of sisters is a token
that I hold very precious to me,
but I know you won't hear or see
these words written that go unspoken
If only it had gone unbroken
instead of shattered by life's decree
The bond of sisters is a token
that I hold very precious to me
We could have saved it, we had the key,
but life interrupted words we've spoken
Its frailty was torn and left broken
before we even knew it'd flown free...
The bond of sisters is a token
...that I only wished to keep
