Close. It's about a girl who's going to the hospital to see her new sister for the first time. She asks : 'What I most want to know, you might find it strange. Do you have the same eyes, and do you have the same hair?'

Hi,
Welcome back! See the sun is still shining .
Thanks for your job. That is a great song with beautiful melody! I have to admit I appreciated the fantastic music and attractive voice more than her pronounciation. :) Is it about a girl with a new born sister, who looks alike so much?
Now, let me go back for pronounciation learning.
