Poem For Erika / For Baby

(spoken) erika with the windy yellow hair
Dancing through the day or moping by the stair
My joy to know my erika 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 she just dashed away, she had things to do
I do too, i do too

Lithesome child, i turn with care
When viewing you on step or stair
All my hope and love for you,
My erika with the windy yellow hair

(sung) 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 to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down as you walk by
And morning bells will chime

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
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
