What do you see # 175 – I’m always your big sister and you’re my star

For the visually challenged reader, this is a black and white photograph, showing the back of two young children sitting together. The older child has her arm around the shoulders of the younger one. The kids appear to be sitting by the water’s edge.

I remember the warmth we felt, the wind in our hair

By the water’s edge as we watched the ship passed by

You were such a lovely toddler, to the ship saying bye-bye

And afterwards Mum said we were going to the fair

Mum bought us lollipops from the candy store

You were giggling and dancing, dance baby high

I remember the warmth we felt, the wind in our hair

By the water’s edge as we watched the ship passed by

You were always following me, we’re such a pair

And if I were asked, I’m always your loyal ally

Come rain or shine, on cloudy or blue sky

I’m always your big sister and you’re my star

I remember the warmth we felt, the wind in our hair*
