Two Little Sisters
Carly Simon
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 the 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.
Watcha 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.
