Love You (Take 1)

don’t be afraid to be young and free.

Give a little time for the child within you,

Undo the locks and throw away the keys

and take off your shoes and socks, and run you.

La, la, la...

Give a little time for the child within you,

don’t be afraid to be young and free.

Undo the locks and throw away the keys

and take off your shoes and socks, and run you.

La, la, la...

Run through the meadow and scare up the milking cows

Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand

Walk a windy weather day, feel your face blow away

Stop and listen: Love you.

Roll like a circus clown, put away your circus frown

Ride on a roller coaster upside down

Waltzing Matilda, Carey loves a kinkatchoo

Joey catch a kangaroo, hug you.

Dandylion, ********, silky on a sunny sky

Reach out and hitch a ride and float on by

Balloons down below catching colors of the rainbow

red, blue and yellow-green: I love you.

Bicycles, tricycles, ice cream candy

Lollypops, popsicles, licorice sticks

Solomon Grundy, Raggedy Andy

Tweedledum and Tweedledee, home free.

Cowboys and Indians, puppydogs and sandpails

Beachballs and baseballs and basketballs, too.

I love forget-me-nots, fluffernutters, sugarpops

I’ll hug you and kiss you and love you

La, la, la... Love you.
