My Sister And I

My Sister And I - Carroll Gibbons/The Savoy Hotel Orpheans

My sister and I remember still

A tulip garden by an old Dutch mill

And the home that was all our own until

But we don't talk about that

My sister and I recall once more

The fishing schooners pulling into shore

And the dog cart we drove in days before

But we don't talk about that

We're learning to forget the fear

That came from a troubled sky

We're almost happy over here

But sometimes we wake at night and cry

My sister and I recall the day

We said goodbye then we sailed away

And we think of our friends who had to stay

But we don't talk about that
