Sister Sister don't you rememberA
The days when we were youngB
The long long days with a light and a shadeC
Like the pearls of a necklace strungB
Like the pearls of a necklace strungB
They are gone with all our yesterdaysD
We seek their like in vainE
But we will shed no tears for themF
While the bright todays remainE
While the bright todays remainE
-
Sister Sister don't you rememberA
The days when we were youngB
The homely house in the fat far awayG
Where the love of our childhood clungB
Where the love of our childhood clungB
There is naught to mark that sacred spotH
Save now the beaten loamI
Yet distant altars have we rear'dJ
In the bless ed name of homeI
In the bless ed name of homeI
-
Sister Sister don't you rememberA
The days when we were youngB
The mates of childhood the friend of our youthK
We companion'd and lov'd amongB
We companion'd and lov'd amongB
Some are wand'ring far and some in deathL
Have closed their weary eyesM
But we rejoice in new found friendsN
While we weep for broken tiesM
While we weep for broken tiesM
