Story behind the song
I wanted to do something special for my sisters 40th year, so I wrote her this wee song. As the years pass we find less time to spend together, each busy with the house and the kids and our jobs, but I wanted her to know I'm always here for her, (just a phonecall away) I think she knows this though ;O) When we were kids I always remember us playing out in the rain with our wellies on , splashing about in puddles for hours. ( mum would shout that tea was ready and we pretended we never heard her) LOL We also did lots of climbing and torturing bumble bees and our poor cat (Topsy), we used to put dolls clothes on her and take her out in the pram LOL we were a couple of tearaways :o)
Lyrics
Two Little Girls by Dawn Diamond 23/01/08 Two little girls in wellingtons Dancing in the rain Climbing trees and fences We had no fears back then From catching bees in jelly jars To dressing up the cat we had some great adventures And we had so many laughs Now that we're both older With families of our own You with 3 boys, me with 2 Time has surely flown And it's hard to find the time to say Just what's on our minds What with full time jobs and homes to keep We lead such busy lives Chorus But that don't mean I don't care That don't mean I'm not there And I'm only a phonecall away That don't mean I don't think of you And remember years gone by Cause you're my little sister Until the day I die Looking at old photographs As you reach this special year Sharing with our children Our laughter and our tears It puts things in perspective And makes me proud inside To know I have a sister To know I have a friend for life... Chorus 2 So I hope you know that I care Hope you know I'm always there And that I'm only a phonecall away I want you to know that I think of you And remember years gone by Cause you're my little sister Until the day I die Outro Two little girls in wellingtons Dancing in the rain That's how I'll always think of us Until my dying day Happy birthday Little sister Happy Birthday....to you......end

Hugglies sweets, loved it. What a beautiful window into someone's life. You music and lyrics are great! I liked the music box effect and the music that I have heard of your own is so easy to listen to. Hope your sis had a wonderful birthday and what a brilliant gift from the heart. Top notch sweet hugz.
