Lyrics
- Speaking of spreading sunshine
If more was done in that line
What a world t’would be
I must say you look happy
How do you get that way
Sure it’s very easy don’t you see
Chorus
I love each bird that’s singing
And each flower that’s springing
From the earth that I love to walk on
I love each star that’s shining
With a light divine in evening skies
I love the sea
Other folks may find life boring
But each moment I’m adoring
All the world is wonderful to me
- If you would only try, sir
You’d get it bye and bye, sir
I wish that were true
Sure and it’s very simple
Life is a thing so sweet
I believe it when I look at you
