Peter, Paul & Mary - Poem For Erika / For Baby Lyrics
(spoken) erika with the windy yellow hairDancing through the day or moping by the stairMy joy to know my erika with the windy yellow hairYesterday I met her running home from schoolHer face was tear stained, she didnt know I knewBut I do, I doBut today she had a song to sing and a poem she knewAnd with a kiss and a hug she just dashed away, she had things to doI do too, I do tooLithesome child, I turn with careWhen viewing you on step or stairAll my hope and love for you,My erika with the windy yellow hair(sung) Ill walk in the rain by your sideIll cling to the warmth of your tiny handIll do anything to help you understandIll love you more than anybody canAnd the wind will whisper your name to meLittle birds will sing along in timeThe leaves will bow down as you walk byAnd morning bells will chimeIll be there when youre feeling downTo kiss away the tears if you cryAnd Ill share with you all the happiness Ive foundA reflection of the love in your eyesAnd Ill sing you the songs of the rainbowWhisper of the joy that is mineThe leaves will bow down when you walk byAnd morning bells will chime
