Poem For Erika / For Baby Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

(spoken) Erika with the windy yellow hair 

Dancing through the day or moping by the stair 

My joy to know my Erika with the windy yellow hair 

Yesterday I met her running home from school 

Her face was tear stained, she didn't know I knew 

But I do, I do 

But today she had a song to sing and a poem she knew 

And with a kiss and a hug she just dashed away, she had things to do 

I do too, I do too 

Lithesome child, I turn with care 

When viewing you on step or stair 

All my hope and love for you, 

My Erika with the windy yellow hair 

(Sung) I'll walk in the rain by your side 

I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand 

I'll do anything to help you understand 

I'll love you more than anybody can 

And the wind will whisper your name to me 

Little birds will sing along in time 

The leaves will bow down as you walk by 

And morning bells will chime 

I'll be there when you're feeling down 

To kiss away the tears if you cry 

And I'll share with you all the happiness I've found 

A reflection of the love in your eyes 

And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow 

Whisper of the joy that is mine 

The leaves will bow down when you walk by 

And morning bells will chime
