My Sister And I
Gibbons Caroll
words & music: Zaret, Whitney & Kramer
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 that had to stay,
But we don't talk about that.
Notes:- dog-cart is a two-wheeled horse-drawn buggy.
- fear that came from the sky London blitz 1940/41.
- almost happy over here. shiploads of British children
were moved to Canada for safety during the war.
