Brother will you?


Long before he left home You were more man then he ever was About 12 years old You took on the heaviest role 6 of us, including mom Little kids, taught right from wrong From older brother To rely on each other Growing up without him here Got real tough, but you made it clear I never was without a father figure You filled the shoes, but your steps were bigger Now Im old youve done so much for me How can i repay the years gave up to be The father that we all needed so We could survive out here on our own. Now ive found love and weve been talking Ive asked for so much, but i hope youll be the one walking Arm in arm, your the only one I'd let give me away On my wedding day Its the last task i ask of you Brother can you, will you?
