When a Girl Was Three

[Verse 1] Sunshine lazy morning In a flowered open yard Bees were hovering gently As we catch them in our jars Ever so gentle the peace Life's such a mystery it seems So bright and shining our eyes can be When a girl is three When a girl is three [Verse 2] Tiny pattering footsteps Down a weeded sun-rayed path Batman and Robin my company On my way to have Rhubarb and my thumb The old ladies’ work had to get done Hanging out the laundry on the line When a girl was three When a girl was three [Verse 3] Daddy was strong but silent He felt the Lord nudge his arm Saved me from the old refrigerator In the backyard of the farm He found me blue and unconscious Fuzzy pink kitten pajamas I remember, remember that he loved me well When this girl was three When this girl was three Yeah [Verse 4] When I was a young child Wind whispered through the trees Mom's cellar full of pears in jars My leg tied up on a sling The ocean so gentle it seemed And beneath was an unforgiving sea Life's such a mystery it seems When a girl is three When a girl is three
