Two Little Sisters

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

I'll 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

I'll 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
