Smile In My Heart
IT’S A Beautiful Day
By Sebastian Iturregui-Shelton and Suzi Shelton
Key D
Chorus:
It’s a beautiful day
I wish I could play
Behind my house
Outside with my friends
It’s a beautiful day
So what d’ya say?
Do you want to come over
So the fun never ends?
It’s a beautiful day…
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba ba da ba da ba da
B ba da, da da
V.1
Sun shines on my face
The grass tickles my toes (my toes, my toes)
You spy a butterfly
And it lands right on the tip of my nose
Clouds look like cotton balls
And the Sky’s as blue as the sea (the sea, the sea)
I turn to take your hand
And your hand’s already reaching out for me….
-ChorusBRIDGE: I feel like someone has set me free
Free to run, free to jump, free to just be me
So nice to share this feeling with you – ooh oooh
V.2
Bees buzzing around the flowers
Buttercups dance in the breeze (in the breeze, in the breeze)
You tell me funny jokes
You know that laughing always makes me sneeze
Bells ring from the ice cream truck
And we’ve got a few dollars to spare (a few dollars to spare)
Race you to the top of the hill
And I know you will beat me there…
But I don’t care
-ChorusIt’s a beautiful day… (repeat to fade out)
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba ba da ba da ba da
Ba ba da, da da

Next day when I was walking
It was just before the sun
Felt like someone was behind me
Sure enough, there’s Cinnamon
Chorus
I said you’d better head on home now
Wasn’t sure if I should run?
But this bear was going nowhere
Soon my best friend was Cinnamon
Solo
Chorus
Bridge:
That summer was the best time
Going fishin’, having fun
But come fall I had to go home
And say goodbye to Cinnamon
Now I’m back in New York City
A new school year has begun
I’ll count the days till we’re in Yellowstone
And I can see my Cinnamon

Wings of A Bird

If I had the wings of a little bird, I would fly all day
If I had the wings of a little bird, I would fly and fly all day

If I had the fins of a little fish, I would swim, and swim all day
If I had the claws of a little crab, I would crawl all day
If I had the wings of a little bird, I would crawl, and crawl all day
If I had the legs of a little horse, I would trot all day
If I had the wings of a little bird, I would trot and trot all day

Fly all day, swim all day, crawl all day, trot all day
Fly all day, swim all day, crawl all day, trot all day
If I had the wings of a little bird, I would fly all day

If I had the fins of a little fish, I would swim all day
If I had the fins of a little fish, I would swim, and swim all day
If I had the claws of a little crab, I would crawl all day
