Time to Play

Dad, I wonder what we'll do today in this one moment of time?

I want to walk the icy road, your gloved hand holding mine.
I want to go out in the cold and have a snowball fight
And come inside all dripping wet when it turns dark at night.

I want to climb the willow trees in the early days of spring.
I want to dance in flower beds and smile as we sing.

I want to go out on the lake to cool down in the heat.
I want to drink some lemonade with sugar so it's sweet.

I want to make a giant hill of orange, and red and gold.
I want to watch the last few rains before they freeze because it’s cold.

Dad, I wonder what we'll do today in this one moment of time?

I want to spend a whole long year in this one single day.
I just want you to be able to go outside and play.
