lyrics

F/Am/G
Vs1: Well, you go hide and i'll go seek
and i'll give you to the count of three
then i'll come runnin'
fast as i can
I'll get you with a touch of my hand

And as we go spinning
round and around
we can hear the echoing sounds
of all our friends
clapping their hands singing...

F/C/G
C: Say, say little playmate
Come out and play with me
come climb my apple tree
and with the birds we'll sing
slide down my rainbow
right in through heave's door
and we'll be jolly friends forever more

Vs2: So, please check yes
don't you check no
cause that's the only love that I've ever known
kiss me on the check, hold my hand
I can be your little boyfriend

And we can go swinging
side by side
watch our feet as they're touching the sky
then we can let lose, land in the sand
while all the little girls keep clapping their hands singing...

Chorus
Chorus to Em/F/C/G

Ending: And all the kids sing
you and me go up in a tree
K-i-s-s-i-n-g
and first comes love
then comes marriage
then here we come with a baby carriage
but i don't care
let those dumb kids sing
cause that don't sound too bad to me

Nate Hale Nashville

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, singer/songwriter Nate Hale makes music that is prophetic and painfully truthful, with a melodic, easygoing flow. Nate writes about real life issues: love, war, politics, and religion. Buy the music, come to the shows, clap your hands, and pray that the vision in his music will spread; that swords will be beaten into plows and that jubilee will become reality. ... more
