THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING
Copyright 2002 Michael E. Walker

Verse 1

A bubble gum diamond ring
wax lips and pixie sticks
a blue plastic beaded necklace
and  red licorice whips
I will be Mickey
and you can be Minnie
I’m a kid at play
don’t turn away
hear me when I say

Chorus

don’t know why the time must come
to put away childish things.
I don’t know why we fall in love
with all the heartache
that love can bring
I don’t know why I feel inside
that you’re my one and only thing
all I know is when I’m with you
I gotta sing
just like a bird
on the first day of Spring.

Verse 2

Each toy a new beginning
a bud about to burst
like a Robin I’m returning
each moment like our first.
Let’s paint each others’ faces
and ride in stick horse races
We’re two kids at play
whata ya say
let’s walk a different way
because

Chorus (Repeat)

Bridge

I wanna ride a bike
and fly a kite
and splash in puddles
in the rain
I want to sing a silly song for you
and ride a tiny train
Every time that I’m near you
I gotta sing
just like a bird on the first day of…
(I’m just like a bird)
bird on the first day of…
(just like a bird)
bird on the first day of Spring.
