Billy
Was it yesterday
When me and Billy played in the snow
Outside the house
On the street we used to call our home?
Was it long ago
When he said his first hello
And I held him tightly
In my tiny arms?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long
Since we held each other strong
And we cried all through the night
When we lost our little puppy to the Lord?
Billy was so small
And then he grew so tall
All the years between
They seem so far away
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
Then I went away
He was 12 years old that day
I remember salty tears
Trickled down his sad and freckled face
I was 17
And the whole world was a dream
Maybe then I should've stopped
And looked ahead
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
When me and Billy played in the snow
Outside the house
On the street we used to call our home?
Was it long ago
When he said his first hello
And I held him tightly
In my tiny arms?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long
Since we held each other strong
And we cried all through the night
When we lost our little puppy to the Lord?
Billy was so small
And then he grew so tall
All the years between
They seem so far away
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
Then I went away
He was 12 years old that day
I remember salty tears
Trickled down his sad and freckled face
I was 17
And the whole world was a dream
Maybe then I should've stopped
And looked ahead
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
And now I look back, and I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails and sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long?
Has it been so long?
