My CD's came from Amazon last night, and I forgot this was on one of them...
I got the Edward Scissorhands Soundtrack, Carly Simon's Anthology, and Paul Simon's new CD Surprise, which is one. Very different.
This one always makes me cry. It reminds me of my sis. She's older, and deserves the best, and rarely gets it.
Two Little Sisters - Carly Simon...(Meryl Streep sings the harmony on the CD...so pretty!!)
Two little sisters gazing at the sea , Imagining what their futures will be
The older one says as her eyes look around, I will go as far as the corners of town
Plant a little garden, flowers everywhere And pluck the most fragrant for my hair...
Two little sisters gazing at the sea, Imagining what their futures will be
The younger one stands with her eyes open wide And says I'll go as far as the corners of the sky
Gather all the stars each night as they appear And pick the very brightest one to wear in my ear...
I didn't choose you, and you didn't choose me
I didn't choose you, who would guess we're from the same family
But what will you do when the nights get cold?
When the stars grow dim and your dreams seem old...
Whatcha gonna do when winter calls, And your flowers fall from the garden walls
I'll come home to you, you'll come home to me. My love will be your remedy
I'll choose you and you'll choose me, We'll be two daughters dancing by the edge of the sea...

Maybe we'll sing this together, this fall. She sings, too. We have very similar voices, only when she's speaking, she sounds like she's 12. :)
