My Favorite Things

Does it work? How? What are your “things”? A good conversation in the night? Laughing in bed? A tea and a book? Walking under trees? Food? Tenderness? Consoling a child? Writing a long letter?
My Favorite Things
Julie Andrews
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

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

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

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

      You’re right it’s a great song. And melodically too : a splendid waltz weaved with flats & sharps…
