on a day like this I wanna ride my bike
take a long walk, do whatever I like-
any excuse that possibly might get me outside.
on a day like this, I wanna make you smile.
can we hold hands, can we play for a while?
not in here, it’s not my style. let’s go outside.
outside the wind is dancing ‘round
outside the air is full of sound
outside the ocean is calling me
outside is where I want to be
on a day like this, I wanna float in my boat.
I wanna fly a kite… take off my coat.
if no-one’s home yet, leave a note……. let’s just get outside.
outside the sun is shining bright
outside looks like rain tonight
outside the forest is calling me
outside is where I wanna be
on a day like this, it may be cold, I know
making angels with you here in the snow.
to ski and skate and sled and slide you’ve got to be outside.
outside there are colors sparkling
outside I love to skip and sing
outside the mountains are calling me
outside is where I wanna be
on a day like this I wanna climb my tree.
if I want magic, it’s magic I see.
lying in a field, I love to be outside.
outside everything is so alive
outside I am of the earth and sky
outside the starlight is calling me
outside is where I wanna be
