[01:21.90]And you'd look at me and you'd stand behind [01:24.09]See you were shy [01:25.26]The year that you were turning 7 I was 9 [01:28.44]But you soon grew to be quite talkative [01:31.03]And grew to be quite sure [01:33.15]Doesn't seem all that long ago when were both sat on the floor [01:36.87]When we drew pictures of the places that we'd visit in our dreams [01:41.20]Turned in to stories [01:42.42]Then to poems [01:43.23]When you were 12 and I 14 [01:45.62]The year I realised I wasn't always right [01:48.66]And that one hurt [01:49.70]I always thought that I knew more [01:51.99]And that was just the way it worked [01:54.18]Because I still see you at the edge of your bed [01:58.82]With your freckles and those curls on your head [02:04.98]I never thought I'd learn so much from you [02:08.69]And for the most part I'm just proud [02:14.27]But I guess a part of me [02:16.19]Just hoped it'd always be the other way around [02:22.09]I never thought I'd learn so much from you [02:26.01]I guess I thought I knew it all [02:31.87]I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us [02:34.94]Had thought when we were small [02:39.25]Now I know I'm probably sounding selfish [02:42.65]Oh I probably sound a fool [02:44.73]'Cause of course I want the whole world wide and open for you too [02:49.49]I was just much better as a younger older sister [02:53.30]I hope that it's okay that for a moment I just missed her [02:57.61]But I know how far you'll go [03:01.41]I don't know it all [03:06.20]But I know it's lovely who we are [03:09.54]Though lovely who were when we were small
