A Girl and Her Teddy-Bear Day

[Verse 1] Your ruffled sleeves brush the afternoon A cream bear wears a ribbon just for you Button eyes in a hundred little rows Each one knows the secret only kindness knows [Pre-Chorus] One paw, two paws, make a little parade A pocket-sized kingdom in a soft pastel shade [Chorus] Bear after bear, they’re all gathered near A cozy little crowd that makes the whole room cheer Spin once, smile twice, let the small joys stay A girl and her teddy-bear day [Verse 2] Leg warmers tap a skip across the floor You count the velvet faces, then find one more A stitched-up friend with a bow on its ear Gets the best seat when the afternoon is here [Pre-Chorus] One paw, two paws, make a little parade A pocket-sized kingdom in a soft pastel shade [Chorus] Bear after bear, they’re all gathered near A cozy little crowd that makes the whole room cheer Spin once, smile twice, let the small joys stay A girl and her teddy-bear day [Bridge] If the day feels long, pick a bear to hold Their tiny stitched smiles never grow old Side by side, in a mountain of fur Every soft hello says, “You belong here” [Final Chorus] Bear after bear, they’re all gathered near A cozy little crowd that makes the whole room cheer Spin once, smile twice, let the small joys stay A girl and her teddy-bear day [Outro] One last bow, one last wave Sweet little friends, all tucked away
