Lyrics
I'm Collecting Honey Like The Bees
In my mind
I step back into my childhood days
And I find
They are lit up by sunshine's rays
In my mind.
In my mind
Days of summer are warm and long
And I find
They are filled with sweet bird-song
In my mind.
I'm running through the meadows
In my memories
Building dens in cornfields on my knees
Laughing loudly climbing friendly trees
I'm collecting honey like the bees.
In my mind
I step back to times of fun and play
And I find
That a gentle breeze would blow each day
In my mind
I'm running through the meadows
In my memories
Building dens in cornfields on my knees
Laughing loudly climbing friendly trees
I'm collecting honey like the bees.
In my mind
Days of summer are warm and long
And I find
They're foundations I laid firm and strong
In my mind
I'm running through the meadows
In my memories
Building dens in cornfields on my knees
Laughing loudly climbing friendly trees
I'm collecting honey like the bees.
I'm running through the meadows
In my memories
Building dens in cornfields on my knees
Laughing loudly climbing friendly trees
I'm collecting honey like the bees.
