Sisters
Devoted Bonds: Unbreakable Sisterhood in Rosemary Clooney's 'Sisters'
Lyrics
Sisters, sisters
Expressing the bond between siblings.
There were never such devoted sisters
Emphasizing an exceptional closeness between the sisters.
Never had to have a chaperon, no sir
They never needed supervision or a chaperone.
I'm here to keep my eye on her
One sister feels responsible for looking out for the other.
Caring, sharing
Actively supporting and caring for each other.
Every little thing that we are wearing
Sharing everything, even clothing choices.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
Referring to a gentleman's arrival and a choice in dressing.
She wore the dress and I stayed home
One sister made the sacrifice of staying home.
All kinds of weather
Commitment to sticking together in all situations.
We stick together
Unwavering loyalty regardless of circumstances.
The same in the rain or sun
Consistency in their unity, regardless of the weather.
Two different faces
They may look different but are unified internally.
But in tight places
Supporting each other in challenging situations.
We think and we act as one
Thinking and acting as a single unit.
Those who've seen us
Others witnessing their bond recognize its strength.
Know that not a thing can come between us
Nothing external can break their closeness.
Many men have tried to split us up but no one can
Attempts to separate them romantically have failed.
Lord, help the mister
Asking for divine help for anyone trying to intervene.
Who comes between me and my sister
Expressing a warning to anyone who tries to interfere.
And Lord, help the sister who comes between me and my man
Seeking assistance if the sister interferes in romantic relationships.
All kinds of weather
Reiteration of their commitment through various situations.
We stick together
Stressing their unity regardless of external conditions.
The same in the rain or sun
Consistency in their support through different circumstances.
Two different faces
Despite external differences, internally they're united.
But in tight places
Supporting each other in challenging situations.
We think and we act as one, aha
Operating as a single entity in thoughts and actions.
Those who've seen us
Others witnessing their bond acknowledge its unbreakable nature.
Know that not a thing could come between us
No external force can damage their relationship.
Many men have tried to split us up but no one can
Attempts to separate them romantically have proven futile.
Lord, help the mister
Seeking divine assistance for anyone attempting to interfere.
Who comes between me and my sister
Warning against anyone trying to disrupt their bond.
And Lord, help the sister who comes between me and my man
Seeking divine aid if the sister disrupts romantic relationships.
Sisters
Reiteration of the bond between sisters.
Sisters
Reaffirming the sister's unity and warning against interference.
Sister, don't come between me and my man
Warning against interference in romantic relationships.
