I Love to Sing

from THANK YOU! by The Real Numbers

lyrics

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would play me the best songs
About the law and countin’ your money
And somebody who’d done somebody wrong

But most of all I can recall the melody so soft and sweet
That still comes back to me…

I love to sing
Like the birds up in the trees
I love to sing
A pure and simple melody
I love to sing
Like the birds up in the trees and the dolphins in the sea
And the whole wide world joining in this chorus right now

The band played on and I got a little older
And my buddies would play me the best songs
About the wall and topographic oceans
And how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

But most of all the words enthralled me with a wondrous mystery
and possibility…

I love to sing
Like the birds up in the trees
I love to sing
A pure and simple melody
I love to sing
Like the birds up in the trees and the dolphins in the sea
And the whole wide world joining in this chorus right now… bah bah bah da
Now… bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Now… bah bah bah dah
Now… bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah

Sometimes we all just need a song
Something we all can sing along with
When we’ve fallen down and we need a lift to get us off the ground
You can sing a song and it won’t be long til the smiles return to happy faces

But most of all I can recall the melody so soft and sweet
That still burst forth when my mind’s at ease

I love to sing
About the moona and the juna and the spring 
And almost anything
I love to sing
Like the birds up in the trees and the dolphins in the sea
And the whole wide world
The whole wide world
The whole wide world joining in this chorus right now… bah bah bah da
Now… bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Now… bah bah bah dah
Now… bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Now… shoobie doo wah
Now… bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah
