Lyrics
The sun came in at half past nine It lay across my floor I put the heavy coat away And opened up the door The neighbours all are on the steps With coffee in their hands Winter packed its bags last night And left for other lands First warm day, windows open wide The whole street breathing out First warm day, nothing left to hide Just a song and a little bit of sun Come on out, come on out The baker props his shutter up The kids are in the lane A cat is stretched along the wall Forgetting all the rain I hang my sweater on a chair I leave my shoes behind There's a little bit of summer Come to ease my mind First warm day, windows open wide The whole street breathing out First warm day, nothing left to hide Just a song and a little bit of sun Come on out, come on out Oh, the light is soft as butter And the air is sweet as tea Every face along the avenue Is smiling back at me First warm day, windows open wide The whole street breathing out First warm day, nothing left to hide Just a song and a little bit of sun Come on out, come on out Windows open wide Come on out
