Cancan's daughter's first draft

Just thinkin back on all the times we spent when we were young, when you were 2 and I was 5 and we were having fun

E'en then sometimes I get so mad when you would pass me by, For e'en as kids you were the first to learn to ride a bike

So as we grew up in our years young women to become, I wanted to be the first to wed and bear daughter or son

So many years have passed us by so much time we have lost, And all my goals I rushed to find, and love but with a cost

I see the way he looks at you and how you look at Dan, And somehow deep inside of me I know I've lost again.

Cause life is not a race of time or goals yet to be met, Life is all you've left behind and never will forget

And this upon you wedding day I wish you most of all, May both of you endure the race with vitories great and small

And if you stop to think of me and of my happiness, Remember my heart lies with you and I would wish you bliss

Never forget the lessons that we've both together learned, The scrapes and scars and all the tears the heartaches and the burns

Don't let the past preclude the joy that you have yet to meet, Someday you'll be a mom like me, with pattering little feet

Dan wherever you are take care and now be sure to hear, Watch over my sister with all of your heart or have my wrath to fear

And love her till the day you die, like I know she'll love you, And if you both e'er stand in need we all will pull you through.

Now to you both a beautiful wedding, a life of happiness, Your old lifes now you will be shedding for one new full of love and zest!
