/ antony and the johnsons / before i heard this song , i had no idea that
/ you are my sister / boy george could sing this soulfully . this is
/ i Am a bird now / uniquely soulful song by two unique singers!
/__________________________/ i Am always deeply touched when listening to this .

count the 4/4 slowly .
the main key of this song is G# major . this is not in clearly indicated in the
intro and verses though . here the piano includes the note D in its right hand
melodies . the note D isn’t part of G# major , but part of the neighbouring key
C minor , so you can perceive it in either key . ( to be theoretically correct ,
it would be named an G# lydian mode . ) the key of regular G# major isn’t clearly
determined until the C# chord is played and flattenes the D note to C# .

lyrics
* * * * * * * * * *
you are my sister , we were born
so innocent , so full of need
there were times we were friends , but times i was so cruel
each night i’d ask for you to watch me as i sleep

i was so afraid of the night
you seemed to move through the places that i feared
you lived inside my world so softly
protected only by the kindness of your nature

you are my sister and i love you
may all of your dreams come true
you are my sister and i , i love you
may all of your , all of your dreams come true

we felt so differently then
so similar over the years
the way we laugh , the way we experience pain
so many memories , there’s nothing left to gain from remembering
faces and worlds that no one else will ever know

you are my sister and i love you
may all of your dreams come true
you are my sister and i , i love you
may all of your , all of your dreams come true

all of your dreams , all of your dreams come true

i want this for you
they’re gonna come ( gonna come true )
i see them come ( i see them come true )
