Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Why do robins sing in December, Long before the springtime is due? And even though it?s snowing Violets are growing, I know why and so do you... Why do breezes sigh every evening, Whispering your name as they do? And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling? I know why and so do you... When you smile at me I hear gypsy violins When you dance with me I'm in heaven when the music begins... I can see the sun when it's raining Hiding every cloud from my view And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms? I know why and so do you!
