I THINK I'LL PICK SOME FLOWERS
MOM LIKES THE PINK ONES BEST
OH MY, I SAW A BUTTERFLY
AND A BLUEBIRD IN IT'S NEST!
I WONDER WHAT THIS COLOR IS?
IS IT PURPLE OR IS IT BLUE?
OH WELL, I'LL PICK IT ANYWAY
IT'S SO SHINY WITH THE DEW
MY HANDS ARE GETTING COLD NOW
I WISH I'D WORN MY GLOVES
HEY LOOK THERE GOES A LADYBUG
THOSE THINGS MY BROTHER LOVES!
I THINK MOM'S BAKING COOKIES
I SMELLED THEM WHEN I LEFT
SHE PROBABLY WANTS ME HOME NOW
OH LOOK, A PLACE TO SIT
MY SHOES ARE GETTING MUDDY
IT SURE DID RAIN LAST NIGHT
WHAT'S THAT OFF IN THE DISTANCE?
A MANY COLORED STRIPE
THE COLORS MAKE ME HAPPY
EVEN THOUGH SOME CLOUDS ARE DARK
I THINK I'LL TAKE THAT RAINBOW
AND KEEP IT IN MY HEART
