Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine
You lead us along
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Gliddy glub gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba
Le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla
Nooby abba naba
Early morning singing song

Good morning starshine
The earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine
You lead us along
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Gliddy glub gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba

Early morning singing song

Singing a song
Humming a song
Singing a song
Loving a song
Laughing a song
Singing a song

This movie was the only English language film playing in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1979, when I lived there. I saw it at least 10 times. My daughter was 8 years old (1992) the first time I watched this film with her. She was going to be a hippie for Halloween so I figured she should see the ultimate hippie movie. This song was where I ended the tape. I don't think she saw how this movie really ended until she was at university. I was at UCLA during the height of the Vietnam war - marched in a lot of protests and watched the fall of Saigon on TV. I did figure 8 was too young for my child to know the depths of the tragedy of war, although by that point I'd had to explain the first Gulf war to her, another tragedy played out on TV,

@BobAcoustic

Some have called this film a Jesus parable. He "willingly?" died in someone else's place.

@user-cb8ro1eb6s

Yes! Jesus not only died "willingly" to pay the "price" for our sin. (Sin causes death- God being perfectly just required death for the transgression BUT HE IS SIMULTANEOUSLY JUST AND MERCIFUL!!! GENIOUS in that HE died in our place!!! AND
Not only THAT
HE NEVER BLAMED ANYONE
NOT JEWS, ROMANS OR US (I was taught as a Catholic that my sins put Him on that cross! True!
BUT, JESUS SAID!
I LAY DOWN MY LIFE AND IN 3 DAYS I WILL TAKE IT UP AGAIN!!!!
Wouldn't THAT solve alot of the world's problems if we EACH sought to solve the problem and not seek to blame!!!

I was nine when I saw this movie with my mum and older sister.Now,I am 21 and this is still my favourite movie

@safirestudio

I was 4 when I saw this movie 😮😂. I didn't know what was going on but I loved it so much my dad got me the soundtrack on tape and I literally played it to death. The tape one day unraveled and never went back. Saddest day for me. I must've been 6 by then. Still my favorite soundtrack to this day.
