The Month of May

The month of May, the month of May
Time to see the lambs at play
Time to see the the buds bursting
As nature launches into spring

The month of May, the month of May
Time to go outside and stay
Time to watch the birds take wing
As nests they build new life to bring

The month of May, the month of May
Time to welcome each new day
Time the windows wide to fling
So the freshness can flood in.

The month of May, the month of May
Time to set aside the grey
Time to smile, dance and sing
For summer is icummen in.
