My big brother has always been there for me. I wanted to try to tell a little bit about the way we grew up, and about what he's seen me through in my life. Always there to protect his little sister, to let her know she's loved.

Lyrics

Little Cars and Tickle Fights
Jemma Kline

Our little cars would drive across the floor,
Through a cardboard city we would both explore.
You won all our tickle fights,
Talked with me into the night,
And you stood beside me when I went to war.

Oh my brother,
You’re miles away.
Oh my brother,
Wish you could stay.
Oh my brother,
You love me so.
Oh my brother,
You let me know.

Yes, you joined the fight we knew we couldn’t win,
Showed your sister she was more than just your kin.
After all the blood was shed,
And my body left for dead,
Gently helped me find a way to live again.

Oh my brother,
You’re miles away.
Oh my brother,
Wish you could stay.
Oh my brother,
You love me so.
Oh my brother,
You let me know.

You were with me when I gave my wedding vows,
Held me close while I wore flowers on my brow.
And though you live so far away,
You’re still with me every day,
For I know you’ll keep me safe if danger’s round.

Oh my brother,
You’re miles away.
Oh my brother,
Wish you could stay.
Oh my brother,
You love me so.
Oh my brother,
You let me know.
