Lyrics
We always loved you, always loved you
And we'll always love you
When we were together
Me and my sister Heather
You were our mama, sure as day
Laughin and a singin
Till them bells were ringin
I wish we'd laugh that way again
If I'd done more thinkin
Instead of all this drinkin
Would those times have come again
Watery eyes a blinkin
Lonesome heart a sinkin
Won't those times come again
Won't those times come again
When we were together
Me and my sister Heather
You were our mama, sure as day
Laughin and a singin
Till them bells were ringin
I wish we'd laugh that way again
We always loved you
Always loved you
And we'll always love you
If I'd done more thinkin
Instead of all this drinkin
Would those times have come again
Water eyes a blinkin
Lonesome heart a sinkin
Won't those times come again
Won't those times come again
