Lyrics
Verse 1
You?re an enigma to me.
A distant memory
Etched upon the walls of my mind.
I close my eyes your smile I see.
But, it?s been so long
And time can be unkind.
Chorus
Sister?
Do you have the pieces to the puzzle
That we started long ago.
Sister?
Do you hold the answers to the questions
That are burning in my soul.
Burning in my soul.
Na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na.
Verse 2
Your gentle kisses made me see
Your inner beauty,
The kind that?s hard to find.
I can hear the songs you sang to me.
?Sweet Baby James?, ?Carolina?s On My Mind?.
(CHORUS)
Verse 3
Childhood is gone, we?ll never know.
Now that I?ve found you
I?ll never let you go.
I can hear the songs you sang to me.
?Sweet Baby James?, ?Carolina?s On My Mind?.
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
