Return To Pooh Corner
Kenny Loggins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood
So help me if you can, I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky (chase the clouds from above)
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from there no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
So help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky (chase the clouds from above)
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there, with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that old bear whispered, "boy, welcome home"
Believe me if you can, I've finally come
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
What do you know, there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky (chase the clouds from above)
Back to the days of Christopher Robin (back to days)
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin (back to the ways)
Back to the days of Pooh
The song Return to Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins is about returning to childhood and reliving the innocence and simplicity of youth. The first two stanzas describe Christopher Robin and the singer walking through the woods, asking Owl and Eeyore questions. They are nostalgic for the past days of their youth, but the singer has gone further than he meant to and can’t find his way back to the wood. He asks for help to get back to the house at Pooh Corner by one, where he knows there’s so much to be done, like counting all the bees in the hive and chasing all the clouds from the sky. It’s a tribute to the happy memories and simple joys of childhood.
The next stanza is about Winnie the Pooh getting his head stuck in a honey jar and going to Owl for advice on how to get out of it. The last stanza is about the singer watching his own son sleep and seeing his own beloved bear by his side. In this moment, he feels as if his childhood has come full circle as if he's returned to Pooh Corner.

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Christopher Robin and I took a stroll together
Under branches lit up by the moon
We walked beneath moonlit branches
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
We asked Owl and Eeyore some questions
As our days disappeared all too soon
Our time together went by too quickly
But I've wandered much further today than I should
I've strayed too far from where I should be
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood
I'm lost and can't find my way back
So help me if you can, I've got to get
If you can help me, I need to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
Back to Pooh's house by one o'clock
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
There's a lot to do, surprisingly
Count all the bees in the hive
One task is to count all the bees
Chase all the clouds from the sky (chase the clouds from above)
Another task is to chase away the clouds
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Back to the time when Christopher Robin and Pooh were together
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Pooh is unsure of what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He has a jar of honey stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
He asked me for help and advice
And from there no one knows where he goes
After that, no one knows where he went
So I sent him to ask of the owl if he's there
I sent him to ask Owl, if he's around
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
How to remove a jar from a bear's nose
It's hard to explain how a few precious things
It's difficult to explain how a small number of things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
Seem to stay with us throughout our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
After everything, I was watching my son
Sleeping there, with my bear by his side
My son was sleeping with his bear
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I tucked him in and kissed him, as I left
I swear that old bear whispered, "boy, welcome home"
I heard the bear say, "Welcome home, son"
Believe me if you can, I've finally come
If you can, believe me, I've returned
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
Back at Pooh's house by one o'clock
What do you know, there's so much to be done
As it turns out, there's a lot to do
Back to the days of Christopher Robin (back to days)
Back to the time when Christopher Robin was around
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin (back to the ways)
Back to Christopher Robin's ways
Back to the days of Pooh
Back to the time with Pooh

This song is so close to my heart. My dad played this for me and my kid sister all the time. He passed away 8 years ago. This weekend was my little sister's wedding, and since dad was gone, we did a brother-sister dance to this song.
Isaac Brummett
That's amazing
Linda Brown
I got this album when my kids were babies and played it for them to help them relax and get to sleep. I lived it and still do.

❤p
Austin Dallas
That’s a beautiful tribute.
Deb McCartney
Oh wow. I’m sorry for the loss of your father but I have to say I love this story. Thank you for sharing ❤️

This song honestly breaks my heart. In a beautiful sadness type of way. As adults, what do we want more than just to be kids again? Instead, we have to live through the suffering, torture, and misery of adulthood.
Randy B. Hughes
I want to go Back to Pooh Corner.
Michael Carson
very well put and so true

I just want everybody to know Kenny Loggins is a legend if he's not already I think he's should be in Rock-'n'-roll hall of Fame if anyone agrees with like this comment.
