I was checking out my lawn   Wintertime was almost done   And birds were singing in the trees   While waiting for the sun   And I listened to that sound   While my eyes were looking down   Just beside my piquet fence   I saw a flower on the ground      My that little guy was wise   Tried to reach to my surprise   Every sunbeam from a cloudy sky   Despite the snow and ice   It was curious and young   And the spring had just begun   And it showed me   Shivering in the breeze   The color of the sun      May God bless you, little friend   May you last until the end   Of the summer when the autumn leaves   Will cover you again   I will keep you in my heart   As a very special sign   Of the greatest star upon the sky   Who gave you strength to climb      My that little guy was wise   Tried to reach to my surprise   Every sunbeam from a cloudy sky   Despite the snow and ice   It was curious and young   And the spring had just begun   And it showed me   Shivering in the breeze   The color of the sun      But when the evening glow   The sky was hidden by some clouds   And the rain was pouring down   And exposed dirt on every road   And I went out in the dawn   Found my footsteps on the lawn   But my little friend beside my piquet fence   He was gone      I was filled with many kinds of thoughts   And grateful in my heart   And I thanked the Lord for giving me   This great rewarding part   Like the one I just experienced   While wondering around   I found someone who could show to me   I found someone who could show to me   The color of the sun      Later on I sat at home   And the day was almost gone   And I knew that deep inside   I missed that color of the sun
