Lyrics

Little Visitor
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff

They brought you in all wrapped in towels
Like a wrinkled little gnome
Saying, “Meet your brand-new, baby brother”
I said, “When's the little visitor
Gonna go back home?”
I guess I wasn't very nice
When we were very young
Afraid to lose our parents' love
Now that I wasn't the only one but

CHORUS:
Just want to tell you

I'm awfully proud of you
You're not afraid to dream so big
Here's wishing all those wishes will come true

Putting plays on up in the attic
We lived in worlds that we'd create
A comrade in my flights of fancy

Sometimes we'd fight like hell
But we'd still be brothers

And now we're grownups, sometimes you visit
But you can never stay for long
We're still creating, still asking questions
And with all the time and distance
It's amazing how connections stay so strong

Chorus

And I'm glad the little visitor came to stay
