LaLa Love
Robbie Schaefer/Mrs. Jenkins Music 2011 (ASCAP)

Once upon a time, I wished upon a star
And the star sang back to me, I wonder who you are
I said who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
And I sent the star a song across the Galilee

And across the Galilee, underneath the moon
Stood a little girl remembering a tune
And it rattled round her heart as though it always had
And she sang up to the dark just before she went to bed
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love


Just before she went to bed, she sent it on its way
Past the Tranquil Mountains, across the Byron Bay
And it settled in the heart of a sleeping little boy
And first thing in the morning he sang it out with joy
And it woke up his old dog, his little brother Ted
It woke up the earth sleeping underneath his bed
And every sleepy soul in his sleepy town
Found themselves awake and gathering around
Singing La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love


And gathering around there were voices everywhere
And words turned into light and light turned into air
And love became a secret finally undone
And everybody hummed an old familiar hum
And the humming turned to song, the planet sang at once
And all of us were them and all of them were us
You could hear our voices swell in the stars above
Everybody singing singing singing La La Love
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love


And gathering around, we sang beautiful and true
And it made its way from us and found its way to you
And it sparkled in your heart for all of us to see
Singing who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
Who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
Who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
Who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
Who I am is Love, Love I’ll always be
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love
La La, La La Love, La La, La La Love
