A Girl With Tears In Her Eyes

Dear God,
He came back,
He hugged me tight,
He...he...why is he saying goodbye.
He says "You and me are tight,
tighter than the others,
I love you baby sis,
You know, no matter what,
I'll always be your big brother."
Dear God,
Why's he going,
HOW CAN YOU LET HIM LEAVE,
DEAR GOD, STOP IT,
STOP IT, DON'T LET HIM LEAVE ME. 
He's climbing back into his truck,
His hat pulled backwards on his head,
I still feel the warmth of his cheek, 
From the kiss that I left.
Dear God, 
I'm feeling weaker,
How could you do this to me?
Is this some cruel game,
Is it funny to see?
You gave me a brother,
You answered my prayer,
but now your taking him away,
leading him who knows where.
Dear God, 
Why?
What did I do wrong?
Bring my brother back to me,
Please God,
Bring him home.
