My Sister, the Bride

Somebody check on me by the second verse I swore I wouldn't cry You married off your teddy bears With a bedsheet for a veil Made me hum the wedding march While the dandelions went stale Now the real march is playing And I can't believe my eyes That's my sister, the bride The kid who stole my sweaters Standing there in white, lit up brighter than the room All our growing up walked you down that aisle Look at you — just look at you — My sister, the bride We fought over the bathroom mirror For about a thousand years This morning I just held the curling iron And blinked back happy tears You squeezed my hand before the doors Like when we were small and scared That's my sister, the bride The kid who stole my sweaters Standing there in white, lit up brighter than the room All our growing up walked you down that aisle Look at you — just look at you — My sister, the bride And hey — you, the one she's marrying — You're getting the best one of us Break her heart and I know where you live But honestly? I think you know what you've got That's my sister, the bride The kid who stole my sweaters Standing there in white, lit up brighter than the room All our growing up walked you down that aisle Look at you — just look at you — My sister, the bride Same little sister, brand new name Save me the first slow dance
