Lyrics
Poets sing songs of Spring
I feel just the way they do ’bout ev’rything
What can it be, can’t you see?
There’s a brand new feeling that’s come over me
Chorus
Why do I spend hours
Pickin’ petals off of flowers?
Why do I? ‘Cause I’m bubbling over with love
Why do I write song words
‘Bout the bees, and trees and songbirds?
Why do I? ‘Cause I’m bubbling over with love
I’ve got someone I can rave about
Love’s in my heart and it must come out
Do I know what bliss is?
I just overflow with kisses
Why do I? ‘Cause I’m bubbling over with love
- Life’s a song, nothing’s wrong
I’m as happy as a lark the whole day long
Just look at me, gosh! Oh, Gee!
I’m a diff’rent person than I used to be
