just thinking ... how grateful I am for all the undeserved blessings; especially my family~

Every time I hear this song; I can't help to smile...I know, if I look over to where my brother is; he is smiling also! This reflects nicely how we feel about each other now...

 

Brotherly love...

I was four year old when they brought Benji home (Actually I was almost fifteen when Ricky was brought home from the hospital...)

I didn't know what to make of 'im (I did...)

In fact, the whole time we were growin up

I was never sure whether to hug 'im or punch 'im...

took me twenty five years to figure it out!

 

Yeah, he use to beat me up; half the time I deserve it!

But then there were times like when Benny Brady and his friends stole my bike...

After Sam got through with 'im he didn't came near me for the rest of the year..

Made me feel so good! All I wanted was to be just like him!

 

 

We shared the same last name and the same color eyes,

But we fought like tigers over that old red bike.

"I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove."

It wouldn't take long until push came to shove.

But we looked out for each other,

With brotherly love.

 

You hated girls 'til I had my first date.

I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late.

Three on the couch watchin' T.V.

I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me.

But, I wouldn't trade it for nothin'.

Brotherly love.

 

There's a bond that brothers know,

And it gets stronger as they grow.

A love that time and miles can't come between.

We disagree but in the end,

There will never be two closer friends.

And brotherly love is something we all need.

 

Instrumental break.

 

They share the same last name and the same color eyes,

But they fight like tigers over one ol' red bike.

And lookin' at them reminds me of us.

They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss.

But, they've got something special,

It's brotherly love.

 

Yeah, they've got something special,

It's brotherly love.
