Nanette Workman - Billy paroles de (lyrics)

Was it yesterday
When me and Billy played in the snow
Outside the house
On the street we used to call our home?

Was it long ago when he said his first hello
And I held him tightly in my tiny arms?

And now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? Has it been so long?
Has it been so long
Since we held each other strong
And we cried all through the night
When we lost our little puppy to the Lord?

Billy was so small and then he grew so tall
All the years between they seem so far away

And now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? Has it been so long?

Then I went away
He was 12 years old that day
I remember salty tears
Trickled down his sad and freckled face

I was 17 and the whole world was a dream
Maybe then I should've stopped
And looked ahead and now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? Has it been so long?

And now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
(Wish I was a young girl)
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
(Sitting in the backyard)
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? (Been so long)
Has it been so long? (Has it been so long?)

And now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
(Wish I was a young girl)
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
(Sitting in the backyard)
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? (Has it been so long?)
Has it been so long? (Has it been so long?)
And now I look back
And I wish I was a young girl
(Wish I was a young girl)
With my long pigtails
And sitting in the backyard
(Sitting in the backyard)
With my brother that I love
Has it been so long? (Has it been so long?)
Has it been so long?
