Watermelon Juice
A summer day
A picnic way
Watermelon juice runs down my face, down my chin, down my arm...
Then we spit the seeds to the ground --
Bumble Bees Buzz 'round...
Butterflies Flutter by...

Playing marbles in the sand,
Hand in hand, Secret Land
You and me, Buddies we...

Corn on cob,
Hotdog bun,
Marble bag...

Marshmellow roast,
Graham cracker toast --
Watermelon juice runs down my face, down my chin, down my arm...
Then we spit the seeds to the ground --
Bumble Bees Buzz 'round...
Butterflies Flutter by...

Playing marbles in the sand,
Hand in hand, Secret Land
You and me, Buddies we...

Baseball Bat,
Tater' Chips,
Pick-up Sticks...

Mother may I...
Climb that tree high?
Light Bugs fly
Through the sky
So will I ...!

Jump from the trees...
Play hide and seek...
You or me?
Who will be?
Let's go see!

A summer day
A picnic way
...Watermelon Juice runs down my face.........!

2. I Forgot To Remember
I Forgot To Remember
Sometimes I wonder why and how it came to be that your eyes touched mine
this early day in spring.
I thought I knew how to do and say all the right things - just like I learned to do.
You looked in my eyes.
What's today?
Who am I?

I forgot to remember the time.
I forgot to remember what day it is.
With my head spinning 'round like balloons at a fair,
Back and forth, to and fro' here I go....
No escape for the thoughts in my head.

I forgot to remember my keys.
Did I leave them somewhere else or are they here...?
Right in front of my eyes everything is a blur,
Count to ten, then from there don't know where.
Heaven knows how I try to be clear...

...Since the day that we met I'm happy and forgetful.

I forgot to remember my friend.
She was waiting for me at that new café.
Wore my shirt inside out all day long yesterday;
My new teapot went dry on the stove.
I forgot to remember to eat.

I forgot to remember my plans...
Wrote them done in my blue book of 'things to do'.
Locked my keys in the trunk of my car - oh who cares!?
Suddenly my heart flies, here it goes...
Like a carousel horse 'round and 'round!

Since the day that we met I'm happy and forgetful.

But, I'll always remember you're here.

Grapefruit And A Piece Of Toast
**chorus
Grapefruit and a piece of toast.
Breakfast with you in the morning light.
Darling, pass a cinnamon bun...
Breakfast with you and a cup of coffee too.
...We'll get up with the rising of the early morning sun...

...time to start our day, museli on a tray.
Window flowers bloom in our breakfast room.
Grandma's silver spoon,
Music of a loon,
Breakfasting with you - what I like to do.

...time to start our day in our secret way.
Fresh raspberry jam,
Brie from Amsterdam -
Basket of Bamboo,
Morning rendezvous,
Breakfasting with you - what I like to do.

...time to start our day a most lovely way.
Ginger apple tea,
Honey of a bee,
Will you ever know
How I love you so?
Breakfasting with you - what I like to do!

4. And The Moon Danced Play
And The Moon Danced
One summer night while sitting on the porch and dreaming of the wooden swing my grandpa made me.

I gazed up high and saw the moon upon the clouds above me dancing, twirling, celebrating.

Then I recalled what grandpa told me when I was a little girl of four and we were fishing.

He said to me, "on special nights the world awakes and you can see the angels and the moon dance."

***Cat-tails in the sky - riverbeds of stars - and I see the moon dancing there in the sky...Grandma's there, grandma's there whirling and twirling 'round , just like when they were first married so long ago - now I know where they both went.

Thoughts of that day, I suddenly remembered all the lessons and the things my grandpa taught me.

Recalling then...remembering he said you could be and can do anything you want to.

Told me to fly and reach the stars and grab your dreams and sing your songs and give the world a blessing.

Dance with the Moon...it's in your heart, above the clouds, on top of trees, upon the stars of evening.

Summer Sun
Summer Sun... floating on the sea. Dropping down, raining light on me.
Summer Sun... touched my heart this day. Circle round, Love on it's way.

You... You will always be... Fill my soul... pouring light on me... .
Your blush upon my skin... The breath of wind... Summer sun we are one.

Summer Sun... sister of the Moon. Gazing down, spreading warm your tune.
Summer Sun... Diamonds in the sand. Playful sight, castles made by hand.

repeat

extra lyrics:
Summer Sun... Dancing light on Earth. Out to play, giving life rebirth.
Summer Sun... Golden arms above. Calling home children of her Love.

8. In The Park
In The Park
In the Park a baby cries, two lovers touching, kites fly high.
Watching you, watching me, pretending not to notice or to see.
What's your name? I'll never know. Passing by, people come and go.
Sunny day, laughing breeze, swirling air, dancing leaves on trees.

OO Ooohhaa... ahh...

In the park a sunny day, cotton clouds, children play.
Violets swaying on the hill, while bumblebees are sipping daffodils.
A sunny sky, a midday moon, dandelion yellow balloons.
Sundrops fall upon the earth; touch my face, giving life rebirth.
