Lyrics
I open up the window and the air is soft and new Winter put his coat away, the sky is washed in blue Kettle on the stove top, sunlight on the floor First warm day of springtime come knocking at my door Oh the kitchen window, let the sunshine in Let the sweetness settle on my skin First warm day, first warm day Everything is easy and the cold has gone away Bare feet on the tiles, a song upon my tongue Neighbour hanging washing like a flag when day's begun Mango on the counter, honey in my tea You come behind and hold me, and the whole world feels like we Oh the kitchen window, let the sunshine in Let the sweetness settle on my skin First warm day, first warm day Everything is easy and the cold has gone away Slow down, slow down, nowhere that we have to be Dust is dancing golden in the light across the sea Slow down, slow down, stay a little while Let the morning love us with a lazy, lovely smile Birds are in the mango tree, they sing about the sun I hum along beside them, now the long cold night is done Hold my hand a moment, watch the curtain sway It's the little things, my darling, that make a golden day Oh the kitchen window, let the sunshine in Let the sweetness settle on my skin First warm day, first warm day Everything is easy and the cold has gone away First warm day, mm, first warm day Sunshine in the kitchen, stay, stay
