My Favorite Things Lyrics
Luther Vandross
Lyrics
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
The girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
The snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
So bad any more
Not any more
