My Favorite Things
The Supremes / The Temptations Lyrics

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Small and simple things that bring joy to life, even on a rainy day.

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Tangible objects that bring comfort and warmth during colder seasons.

Brown paper packages tied up with strings
The simple and heart-warming gesture of gift-giving and thoughtfulness.

These are a few of my favorite things
All of these small, comforting things make up a collection of the things that bring happiness to the person.

Cream colored ponies and crispapple strudel
Fond memories and experiences associated with certain foods or animals.

Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Sounds and smells that evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth during the holidays.

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Natural phenomena that represent the beauty and majesty of the world around us.

Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes
The beauty and elegance of certain fabrics or clothing that evoke feelings of gracefulness and beauty.

Snowflakes that stay on your nose and eye lashes
The delicacy and beauty of winter weather, and the memories of playing outdoors during childhood.

Silver white winters that melt into springs
The cycle of life and the beauty of each season, and the promise of new beginnings.

When the dog bites
Life's unexpected and unpleasant moments that can bring physical pain and discomfort.

When the bee stings
Life's unexpected and unpleasant moments that can bring emotional pain and discomfort.

When I'm feeling sad
Recognizing and acknowledging negative emotions, and searching for ways to cope.

I simply remember my favorite things
Recalling happy memories and comforting objects to bring about feelings of warmth and positivity.

And then I don't feel so bad
Using positive memories and mental exercises to alleviate negative emotions.

Girls in white dresses
The beauty and elegance of certain fabrics or clothing that evoke feelings of gracefulness and beauty.

Blue satin sashes
The luxurious and beautiful appearance of certain fabrics that can bring about feelings of elegance.

Snowflakes on my eye lashes
The delicate beauty of winter that can evoke fond memories of childhood.

Oh, my favorite things
The singer is expressing pure joy and appreciation for the collection of small items and memories that bring them warmth and happiness.
