On a picnic morning without a warning I looked at you and somehow I knew On a day for singing My heart went winging A picnic grove was our rendezvous You and I in the sunshine We strolled the fields and farms At the last light of evening I held you in my arms Now when days grow stormy And lonely for me I just recall picnic time and you Now when days grow stormy And lonely for me I just recall picnic time and you
