Tim O’Brian sings a sweet song about the loss of his older sister when he was only two years old. Have the tissues handy.


I guess there’s no time when I can’t recall
That picture hanging up there on the wall
Of a little girl walking by a snake in the grass
And her guardian angel is guiding her past.

Well, I lost a big sister when that picture was new
Nineteen fifty-six just before I turned two
I took part of my memory, added stories and things
I made her my angel, she has her own wings
I made her my angel, she has her own wings

She would have held my hand, she would have called my name
Too young to remember, I miss her the same
My guardian angel, I miss her the same.

I don’t know much about her, there’s not much to know
Just six years of living then she had to go
And my parents they grieved, somehow they moved on
And I grew up knowing my sister was gone.

And I found an old letter that my mom wrote that year
And each time I read it I shed a new tear
And it helps me to feel some of what my parents felt then
I think of my own kids and feel it again
I think of my own kids and feel it again.

I would have held her hand, I know I called her name
My guardian angel, I miss her the same
She would have held my hand, she would have called my name
Too young to remember her, miss her the same
My guardian angel, I miss her the same.

I guess there’s no time when I can’t recall
The picture a hanging up there on the wall.
