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

Little birds will sing along in time
[Refrain]
The leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
[Verse 2]

And morning bells will chime
[Verse 3]
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

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