 They were sitting,  they were sitting  in the strawberry swing
 And every moment was so precious
 They were sitting,  they were talking  in the strawberry swing
 And everybody was for fighting
 Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
 Cold, cold water  bring me 'round
 Now my feet  won't touch the ground
Cold,  cold water
 What you say?
 It's such,  it's such a perfect day
 It's such  a perfect day
 I remember  we were walking  up to strawberry swing
 I can't wait 'til the morning
 Wouldn't wanna change a thing
 People moving  all the time
 Inside a perfect  straight line
 Don't you wanna  scurve away
 It's such  it's such a perfect day
 It's such  a perfect day
Ahhhh....
 Now the sky  could be blue
 I don't mind
 Without  you its a waste of time
 ...could be blue  I don't mind,  without  you it's a waste of time
 The sky could be blue,  could be gray  without  you I just slide away
 The sky could be blue,  I don't mind,  without  you it's a waste of time
