Lyrics

Verse 1
Swirling on the clouds a dewy sweetness
Spilling from a sleepy mountainside
Singing in the tree a silly sparrow
laughing in the air a jaybird's cry.

Chorus
Dilly dilly darrow, darrow darrow,
Dilly dilly darrow darrow digh.
Dilly dilly darrow darrow darrow,
Dilly dilly darrow, darrow digh.

Verse 2
Little sunbeams dancing in my window,
Funny little junebugs in my eye.
Crazy little dreams that fall like petals,
Wild and wondrous floating in the sky.
(To chorus)

Verse 3
Whirling 'round I am a dizzy dancer
Falling off my feet to catch your eye.
Feeding on your warm and sunny laughter
Melting like the ice in clear blue sky.
