hair,
dancing through the day,
or moping by the stair.
My joy to know my Erica
with the windy yellow hair.
Yesterday I met her running
home from school.
Her face was tear -stained.
She didn't know I knew,
but I do, I do.
But today she had a song to sing
and a poem she knew
and with a kiss and a hug,
well she just dashed away.
She had things to do,
I do too, I do too.
Lifesome child,
I turn with care
when viewing you on step or stare.
All my hope and love for you,
my Erika with the windy yellow hair.
I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand,
I'll do anything to help you understand.
I love you more than
anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me
and little birds will sing along in time.
Ah, the leaves will bow down
when you walk by
And morning bell s will chime
And I'll be there when
you're feeling down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
And I'll share with you all the
happiness I've found
A reflection of the love in your eyes
And I'll sing you the
songs of the rainbow
Whisper of the joy that is mine
Ah, the leaves will bow down
when you walk by
And morning bell s will chime
I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I'll do anything to help you understand,
I'll love you more
than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name,
and little birds will sing along in time.
Ah, the leaves will bow down
when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
