Lyrics

LITTLE BROTHER sings:
Big Brother, My Brother,
I love you as no other,
For you are a hero to me.
And as I run unto your open arms,
Big Brother, You will always be,

Carry Me!
(Please carry me, )

LITTLE SISTER Sings:
Big Brother, My Brother,
Where has your shoulder gone?
The one you would bring to me
and I would rest my head upon.
And I would tell you of the boys,
Those that stole my heart.
and you would brush the tears away from my eyes, ,
and tell me-
“Love Does Never-Ever Die, ”

Then why have you left me all alone?
Just me and Brian Wilson “In My Room,”
“In my room,
In my room, ”

LITTLE BROTHER & SISTER SING TOGETHER:Chorus:
We Love You,
We Miss You.
In our hearts we will always kiss you,
As your Soul Flies Clear and So Free.
And we will wait upon the Forever Sands of the Shore That waits Upon the Sea,

LITTLE BROTHER,LITTLE SISTER, MOTHER & FATHER ALL SING:
How we Love You,
Oh, We Miss You!
In our Hearts, in our hearts, in our hearts
We we always kiss You,
As your soul, as your soul, as your soul,
Flies Clear and So Free,

And We Will Wait Upon The Forever Sands
of the Shore as it Waits Upon the Sea, .

We Love You,
We Miss You,

We Love You,
We Miss You..
