She said she was on her way to see me
and decided to take the long way through the park
where she met a squirrel who gave her an acorn
a bird who gave her a song, a man who gave her a smile
a tree who gave her a leaf and a sky who gave her a sun.
She spoke and she emptied her pockets,a leaf and an acorn fell out
She gave me a bird’s song and a man’s smile
She gave me the sun from the sky
Wrapped in her arms like a present
