The Happiest Day of My Life

When I floated on air with exuberance
And danced to the music of fun
When I smelled the blue of the mountain
And painted a masterpiece 'in one'
When draped in silk and pink velvet
I climbed up a steeple of joy
When I swam in cold of the ocean
And sang him his first lullaby.
