My Favourite Things
The Will Bronson Chorus/Tony Bennett Lyrics

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
I love the beauty of a rose covered in dew and the adorable nature of a kitten's whiskers.

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
I enjoy the shine of copper kettles and the warmth of woolen mittens on a cold day.

Brown paper packages tied up with strings
I find pleasure in the simplicity of a brown paper package tied up with strings.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
I appreciate the beauty of ponies with cream-colored coats and the taste of a perfectly made apple strudel.

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzels with noodles
I enjoy the cozy feeling of home with the ringing of a doorbell, the fun of holiday sleigh bells, and the deliciousness of schnitzels with noodles.

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
I find awe in the sight of wild geese flying with the full moon as their backdrop.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
I love the elegance of girls wearing white dresses accented by blue satin sashes.

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
I enjoy the beauty of delicate snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.

Silver white winters that melt into springs
I appreciate the transition from the quiet, peaceful winter months to the birth of life in spring.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When life gets tough and painful, like a dog bite or bee sting.

When I'm feeling sad
When I'm experiencing feelings of sadness.

I simply remember my favorite things
I remember the simple things that bring me joy.

And then I don't feel so bad
And then I feel better and can find happiness even in the midst of difficult times.
