Lyrics
First warm day, I open up the door Hear the neighbours laughing on the floor Coat on the chair, I don't need you now Sleeves rolled up, I'm taking a bow Sun on my arms, sun on my knees Hello, hello, hello, light breeze Coat on the chair, sun on my face Winter's gone, give me space Coat on the chair, sun on my face Dancing down the street, no rush, no race Oh-oh, warm day, warm day Everybody's coming out to play Coat on the chair, sun on my face Feeling good in every place Ice-cream truck is ringing down the street Kids on scooters, no cold on their feet Window wide open, music on the stairs Spring is dancing, nobody cares Sun on my arms, sun on my knees Hello, hello, hello, light breeze Coat on the chair, sun on my face Winter's gone, give me space Coat on the chair, sun on my face Dancing down the street, no rush, no race Oh-oh, warm day, warm day Everybody's coming out to play Coat on the chair, sun on my face Feeling good in every place Say it with me, say it loud Smiling at the passing crowd One warm day can change it all Hear the little birdies call Coat on the chair, sun on my face Winter's gone, give me space Coat on the chair, sun on my face Dancing down the street, no rush, no race Oh-oh, warm day, warm day Everybody's coming out to play Coat on the chair, sun on my face Feeling good in every place Coat on the chair, sun on my face
