Lyrics
The curtains lift and the dust takes flight The kettle sings a different tune The garden's wearing green again And winter's slipping out of June The neighbours stand along their walls And wave like they have never met The scent of cut grass drifts on by A promise we won't soon forget Open up, open up Let the morning fill the cup It's the day the windows opened wide Let the sunshine pour inside Every heart a little lighter Every sky a little brighter It's the day the windows opened wide Spring is here, and so are we Throw the doors and let it in Let the singing now begin It's the day the windows opened wide A child runs out without her shoes The first warm wind is in her hair The whole street hums a melody That no one wrote, and all can share Hold the warmth, don't count the days Let it warm us all the way Winter's story has been told Here's the gold It's the day the windows opened wide Let the sunshine pour inside Every heart a little lighter Every sky a little brighter It's the day the windows opened wide Spring is here, and so are we Throw the doors and let it in Let the singing now begin It's the day the windows opened wide Windows opened wide Opened wide
