Day Dreamin

As I turn around a blue bird hums a song Of beauty for all to hear and enjoy It cheers the dreamer that sings along Oh what can it mean to be so full of joy? There is no darkness around to cry over And the shadows of life have gone a dew Only a world of happiness lives forever And tears are ever counted as a few. What can it mean to day dream and be free Just to hear those melodies of happy cheer I kept on thinking what am I doing that I can’t see Then I said “goodbye to all that I know and fear.” Hey! Then mercy to the band that plays Listen to the gang and understand the sound It is too easy to hear the bird that prays We were born to search for replies unfound. Someway somehow time goes on without fate It was only yesterday that life was new How I remember when answers were first rate Maybe it is just another pleasant view. I looked back to see if the blue bird still sang And saw that he had flown away His beautiful song left a mark that ever rang It was six o’clock and time ended for the day.
