LYRICS WINNER
ON A LARK
by Samantha Elin Would you build me an igloo to protect me from the cold Kiss me under the “Home Sweet Home,” love me when I’m old Wrap your arms around me, whisper something bold Would you build me an igloo to protect me from the cold Would you pour me a swimming pool if it suddenly turned hot We’ll float on the cool, cool water ‘til the sun is just a spot Then walk me across a field, pick forget-me-nots Would you pour me a swimming pool if it suddenly turned hot Dance with me around the moon Swing from star to star Would you do anything, anything on a lark Would you build me a wall of bricks if the wind roared all night long Lay them down one by one while whistling a sweet song Tuck me under a blanket and tell me nothing’s wrong Would you build me a wall of bricks if the wind roared all night long Dance with me around the moon Swing from star to star Would you do anything, anything on a lark LEAD VOCAL: Would you build me an igloo to protect me from the cold Kiss me under the “Home Sweet Home,” love me when I’m old DUET VOCAL: Wrap my arms around you, whisper something bold I will build you an igloo to protect you from the cold LEAD VOCAL: Would you pour me a swimming pool if it suddenly turned hot We’ll float on the cool, cool water ‘til the sun is just a spot DUET VOCAL: Walk you across a field, pick forget-me-nots I would pour you a swimming pool if it suddenly turned hot Would you build me a red canoe if the river rose too high Paddle ‘cross the water to the land that’s safe and dry Build us a fire, catch some fish, love me by and by Would you build me a red canoe if the river rose too high |
