Velveteen Rabbits
from Little Lives by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
Velveteen rabbits runnin' through the trees. They ran so fast they couldn't be seen. They've been loved so much they've been set free, oh. Why couldn't they have invited me, ohh
And people ruffle my hair, and put me in despair, and they say it's all a dream, but it's nothing like I've ever seen. Woah, I told you so
REFRAIN: And look who's laughing now, laughing now. Oh the look on your face when you wonder how, and the joy in your smile when the sun comes out, and the warmth of your love goin' all about, and the circle of life dancing upside down, but it suddenly stops when you frown, ohh when you frown yeah, so turn yourself around.
Canopy of tunnels stretchin' underground. Only the rabbits can find their way by sound. They feel the hum of the earth beneath their feet oh. They have that reputation of unconventionality ohh.
People ruffle myy hair, and put me in despair, and they say it's all a dream, but it's nothing like I've ever seen. Woah I told you so
(refrain)
Turn yourself around!
Woah oh oh oh oh...woah oh oh oh ohhh...woah oh oh oh oh ahh.
Here comes the piercing light of daybreak, as I run faster up each and every stair, and your standing atop a thirty story building. I tried to catch you but I wasn't even there!
Wasn't even there, ahhh, YEAH!
Oh the look on your face when you wonder how, and the joy in your smile when the sun comes out, and the warmth of your love goin' all about, and the circle of life dancing upside down, but it suddenly stops when you frown, when you frown yeah, so turn yourself around.
And people ruffle my hair, and put me in despair, and they say it's all a dream, but it's nothing like I've ever seen. Woah, I told you so
REFRAIN: And look who's laughing now, laughing now. Oh the look on your face when you wonder how, and the joy in your smile when the sun comes out, and the warmth of your love goin' all about, and the circle of life dancing upside down, but it suddenly stops when you frown, ohh when you frown yeah, so turn yourself around.
Canopy of tunnels stretchin' underground. Only the rabbits can find their way by sound. They feel the hum of the earth beneath their feet oh. They have that reputation of unconventionality ohh.
People ruffle myy hair, and put me in despair, and they say it's all a dream, but it's nothing like I've ever seen. Woah I told you so
(refrain)
Turn yourself around!
Woah oh oh oh oh...woah oh oh oh ohhh...woah oh oh oh oh ahh.
Here comes the piercing light of daybreak, as I run faster up each and every stair, and your standing atop a thirty story building. I tried to catch you but I wasn't even there!
Wasn't even there, ahhh, YEAH!
Oh the look on your face when you wonder how, and the joy in your smile when the sun comes out, and the warmth of your love goin' all about, and the circle of life dancing upside down, but it suddenly stops when you frown, when you frown yeah, so turn yourself around.
