raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

brown paper packages tied up with strings

these are a few of my favorite things

girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

silver white winters that melt into springs

these are a few of my favorite things

when the dog bites when the bee stings

when i'm feeling sad

i simply remember my favorite things

and then i don't feel so bad
