This was a fun @bearwith collab!

@jmpoet wrote these playful, heart-warming and hopeful lyrics!

@dmelbygibbons worked up an arrangement on #ukulele, singing lead vocals and adapting lyrics a little bit here and there to fit

@wynia added #trumpet with that great mute and sang harmony

@briansmith added #cello, worked up the electronic drums, and did the audio mixing and production

Hopefully this puts a "Spring" in your step! :)

A Bird and A Bee

Lyrics by Julie Arthur, adapted slightly by David Melby-Gibbons

Intro: G Em Am D x2

Verse 1 G Em Am D Such a twinkle, eye to eye, G Em Am D Oh my darling, this winter sky.

G F C D Hand in hand, we walk along, G F C D You hum with me and I sing a song.

CHORUS A G Em Am D I’m a bird, you’re a bee, G Em Am D Such sweet honey, we’re a family.

Alternate verse 2 G F C D The years they turn, the leaves they fall, G F C D Spring comes, and darling out we call

          G Em           Am     D

To each other, with voices clear, G Em Am D Em Let’s spark that twinkle, into something new …my dear

CHORUS B F Em D I’m a bird, you’re a bee, Em F F C D Such sweet honey, we’re a family.

Verse 2 G Em Am D With new voices little ones fill our hearts G Em Am D Captivating us, playing their garden part

Alternate verse 2 G F C D With eyes that glimmer, with the love we share G F C D Em Wouldn’t you say, my dear, this is the reason we’re made … to care?

CHORUS B Em F Em D I’m a bird, you’re a bee, Em F F C D Such sweet honey, we’re a family.

Verse 3 G Em Am D I see the road ahead so good and long G Em Am D I see our children growing as I write this song

Verse 4 G F C D They grow and grow up and away; G F This is life’s path, they love us back C D we love them…all along the way…

CHORUS A G Em Am D I’m a bird, you’re a bee, G Em Am D … Such sweet honey, we’re a family.

CHORUS B Em F Em D I’m a bird, you’re a bee, Em F F C D F C G Such sweet honey, we’re a family, we’re a family!
