My lovely sister Joan 
So sweet and so kind 
For as long as I’m here
You’ll be on my mind 

From walking to school 
To wiping your tears
I’m lucky you were mine 
For 81 beautiful years

I’ll smile when I think of you
So innocent through and through 
How you loved to pick flowers 
Purple, and pretty like you 

There’s a special bond between sisters
That we will always share
And when I see pretty flowers 
I’ll know your always there 

How you loved to dance 
To any song you heard
How you loved dogs and cats
Any and all animals, even birds

Your too precious for earth
So up to heaven you go
The best are awaiting you up there
They’ll look after you, I know 

So dance in the stars
With our mum and my gray 
They’ll take good care of you
Until I see you all again some day
