Strolling Down Main Street

Strolling down on Main Street
I’ve got a tune in my head and a tap to my feet

I’ve got a whistle just dying to escape from my mouth
As I’m just sauntering south

My pockets have a jingle
And I’m humming that new hit single

Today the clouds look like cotton candy
And I’m feeling just so fine and dandy

But it’s not the song and it’s not the weather
I’m thinking of something much better

I’ve got a thought in my head
Based not on just something somebody said

I’ve got the facts this time around
And it’s hard enough just staying on the ground

I’ve got some news to share
That gives me a mood lighter than air

I can imagine your face
And that speeds up my pace

But it’s not just my feet that are accelerating
Now it’s my heart that’s palpitating

Now I can see your door
And I can feel my stomach drop to the floor

I hear someone behind me singing the same tune
When I see who it is my thoughts balloon

So arm in arm we’re just strolling down Main Street
With a song in our heads and a tap in our feet
