lyrics

I know that singing makes you happy
So here's a song to help your day along
When you're bored of sucking thumbs
And chums who won't share their sweets
And other sticky treats
You can whistle up some fun

In the rain with your brolly and your boots on
Slush along 'til it's time for tea
And if you're calm I'll be home from work
And I'll be glad because today you were not sad
As you sang a happy tune

Did you miss me, I miss you
What was playschool like, did you ride your bike
And paint a picture, I like your pictures
It's a green splodge, it reminds me of a frog
Did it have a name, you got last Christmas time spent drawing
'Round your hands on paper
Draw a flower, a house, a tree, a car
Pretty soon when your brother's home from school
And you've all had tea
You can sit upon my knee and sing a song for me

I know that singing makes you happy
So here's a song, I wrote it just for you
And when it's time to go up the stairs to bed
Sleepyhead
Now the story has been read
Please dream a song for me
Emily
Emily
