Nice Things 03:03
Thank you is a nice thing to say You can find a time to say it almost every day Can you think of all the wonderful ways Of saying thank you A smile is a nice thing to see I love to see one when you’re looking at me I know you understand how good it can be To see a smile A hug is a nice thing to feel Sometimes it’s good to wrap your arms around something real It makes you feel lovely from your head to your heels When you hug I love you is a nice thing to hear So when you say it be loud and clear Look around and find someone dear And say I love you say I love you i love you

There Ya Go 02:53
There ya go clouds there ya go sun east to west til the day is done shining, shining on everyone There ya go birds there ya go bees humming and singing in the flowers and trees singing, singing for everyone There ya go clover there ya go trees with leaves turning over in the whispering breeze falling from branches with the gentlest sound quietly spinning til they rest on the ground falling, falling for everyone There ya go stars there ya go moon hanging above us like a hot air balloon glowing, glowing for everyone

Let’s grab our boards and head to the shore We won’t need a map since we’ve been there before It’s a heartfelt devotion we have for the ocean We’ll be in the water again There’s nothing better than surfing together Out there in the ocean with you We’ll paddle out to sea. That’s where we wanna be We’ll find the perfect place for the best waves by the jetty We can wait for a good one in the warm summer sun All the while by the side of a friend There’s nothing better than surfing together Out there in the ocean with you And when we go home at the end of the day We’ll dream of our fun in the waves Our worries and our frowns we left back in town We’re on top of the world and we’re never coming down We can live in our wetsuits because they are the best suits I never want summer to end There’s nothing better than surfing together Out there in the ocean with you There’s nothing better than surfing together Out there in the ocean with you Out there in the ocean with you Out there in the ocean with you

Sunny Boy 02:17
You dream of me, Sunny Boy, and I dream of you You sleep tight when you’re next to me and I sleep tight, too You were never meant to stand up tall You were always bumping into the wall Every step you take might end in a fall But you take it anyway You dream of me, Sunny Boy, and I dream of you You sleep tight when you’re next to me and I sleep tight, too I can hear you crying, here I am And I know you’re frightened, here I am But you’re not alone, cause here I am I can stay with you a while You dream of me, Sunny Boy, and I dream of you You sleep tight when you’re next to me and I sleep tight, too I will wait for you, just take your time You can take forever, I don’t mind If you never get there, we’ll be fine We can try another day

Let’s go to the city The days are fun and the nights are pretty It is certain to me that we should be in the city We can go to the museum There’s lots things there and I want to see ‘em We can spend the day What do you say to the city? Bumping around in the subway car Keep your eyes open and see where you are with every turn there’s something new Something else to do in the city We could visit our friends We just can’t wait to see em again We’re gonna skip down the street with our jubilant feet in the city We’ve been writing them letters But seeing their smiles is always better They can take us around their wonderful town In the city Bumping around in the subway car Keep your eyes open and see where you are with every turn there’s something new Something else to do in the city We can visit our cousins You can count on them for hugs by the dozen And a wonderful time, rain or come shine in the city We can go to the park Play around until the sky gets dark But then on come the lights shining and bright in the city Heading on over to the record store We’ve got lots of good music but there’s room for more There’s a place round the corner that makes yummy pastries Let’s take a stop and get something tasty On the way back come on over and cuddle As we listen to the music in the subway tunnel So many people so many faces Coming and going to so many places Bumping around in the subway car Keep your eyes open and see where you are with every turn there’s something new Something else to do in the city

Autumn 02:00
The autumn leave are falling down Every time the wind blows The days are growing shorter now We’re putting on our winter clothes And in the chilly autumn air We’ll meet somewhere We can warm our hands and your hearts And as the nights grow cold and dark We’ll fill our world with stars stars stars We’ll pass the time with all our friends And soon it will be springtime

Snow fell all through the night We woke in the morning to the loveliest sight And everyone was staying home We got right up and hopped out of bed We put on our snowsuits and gathered our sleds With hands in our mittens and hats on our heads We’re ready so off we go Climb on up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again Climb back up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again This time is silver and gold We could stay here forever, we don’t mind the cold Let’s give it all the best we can Each day we do what we have to do Let’s take the time to do what we want to do It’s nice to have this time that I can be with you I love it when you hold my hand Climb on up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again Climb back up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again Someone came around and asked us to go We weren’t supposed to sled here and we didn’t know But the whole wide world is covered in snow We’ll find another place instead Climb back up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again Climb back up to the top of the hill and then slide back down and pick ourselves up again

Nico the Penguin lived by the sea In the snowy Antarctic with her family She liked to go wandering away from the flock Looking of pebbles and round little rocks But the sky’s getting dark Oh where did you roam So hurry little Nico, it’s time to go home Sliding down icebergs she dives in the waves The sea’s full of wonders and Nico is brave She swims in the ocean with a giant blue whale As tall ships pass over with billowing sails But the sky’s getting dark Oh where did you roam So hurry little Nico, it’s time to go home She once saw a narwhal who strayed far from home While Nico was looking for round little stones It told her of summers when the sun shone so bright And the sky danced with rainbows through the long winter night But the sky’s getting dark Oh where did you roam So hurry little Nico, it’s time to go home It’s time to return to your father and mother And snuggle up warm with your little baby brother Back with your family all safe and sound Tell them the stories and show what you’ve found But the sky’s getting dark Oh where did you roam So hurry little Nico, it’s time to go home

Dodo ninette, à la violette. Endormez moi cette enfant, jusqu'à l'âge de vingt ans. Quand les vingt ans seront passés, nous irons la marier. Les petits poissons qui sont dans l'eau, nagent, nagent, nagent. Les petits poissons qui sont dans l'eau, nagent, comme il faut! Les grands et les petits, nagent, nagent, nagent. Les grands et les petits, nagent, comme il faut! Dodo, l'enfant do. L'enfant dormira bien vite. Dodo, l'enfant do. L'enfant dormira bientôt. Dodo ninette, à la violette. Endormez moi cette enfant, jusqu'à l'âge de vingt ans. Quand les vingt ans seront passés, nous irons la marier.

Rowan Tree 01:44
Come with me to the Rowan Tree There’ll be games to play and friends to see Bring your barefoot feet and you’re favorite song And we’ll stay there all day long Come with me to the Holly Tree There’ll be joyful times and good company Bring your wild ideas and some games to play And we’ll stay til the end of the day Come with me to the Hazel Tree We can make our home beneath it’s emerald leaves We can play in the rain and dance in the sun And we’ll play til the day is done Come with me to the Willow Tree We can stay here through the night so comfortably See the moon up above and the stars in the sky And I’ll stay right by your side We can dream of our days outside

Sometimes I’m sad and I don’t know why Sometimes I don’t want to but I have to say goodbye But it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Yeah it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Sometimes nothing’s going my way Sometimes I want everyone to listen But no one pays attention to anything I say But it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Yeah it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Sometimes I wanna go outside and play But if the weather is frightening Thunder and lightening I might just have to save it for another day Sometimes when it’s cloudy I wish the sky was blue Sometimes when we’re apart It breaks my heart that I can’t be with you But it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Yeah it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again Yeah it only happens for a little while I know real soon I’m gonna see your smile again

There’s no better place to be than under this evergreen dreaming our day away in the shadowy breeze The cats are being lazy, the dogs are in the daisies And I’ve got my baby here with me Dandelion meadow, bright and happy yellow Makes me feel so mellow and free The birds, they all are singin’ of the happy times we’re bringin’ Now I’ve got my baby here with me We can keep on swaying in the hammock where we’re laying It’s perfect for a Sunday reverie We’ve got nowhere we’re going, so we’ll watch the flowers growin’ ‘Cause I’ve got my baby here with me I’ve got my baby here with me
