Pieced together from a couple of web sites. Most of the "verse" is missing.MY SISTER AND I
(Lyrics: Hy Zaret; Music: Joan Whitney and Alex Kramer, ©1941Broadcast Music Inc.)VERSE:
The warm and lovely world we knew has been struck by a bitter frost …
CHORUS:
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.A hit in 1941 for Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra, with Bob Eberly, vocalist.
