A week ago, I went to the Spring Sing at my daughters preschool. Each class sang a song, and while there is something about children singing that can make the hardest heart melt, I think these teachers were trying their best to do us all in.
They started off easy with the littles ones, our Sprouts, wearing chicken hats and adorably singing "Los Pollitos Dicen," then, came "Here Comes the Sun" which got my lip trembling with their angelic rendition but no dice. Up next, the Rainbow class singing what else? "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", the Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole version of course. It took a lot of strength, but I held it together. Nice try Rainbow...
Finally, comes Daisy singing "She's Got A Way." I'm thinking "Huh? Why are they singing a cheesy Billy Joel love song? They're way off the mark." Then, as soon as they start singing the realization: "Oh no! Where's a tissue! Why didn't I wear waterproof mascara today?" And just in case any poor saps in the audience were still holding out, they each held up a letter to spell out:
"We Love You Mom"
Bravo Daisy, Bravo
Happy Mothers Day Everyone!
"She's Got A Way"
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her everywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her everywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
