I am looking for this song which I sang in early 1940's when I was in third grade.

I don't remember the actual lyric, but I do remember a parody:

My sister and I remember yet

We returned one night and her bed was wet

We believed her story and we called it sweat

But we don't talk about that.

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.
