Emma Wallace — Come Here to Me (The Ice Cream Man Song) lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve heard that what you seek you will find
And it’s not, it’s not like I mind
But what if I’m not so inclined? What then?
I ask, well, I ask is it a sin
If I asked, I asked the wind to fly my kite
Even though I haven’t taken it outside
And I say come, come here, come here to me
Why, oh why, why must it be
I am the one who has to find you?
Early to bed and early to rise
May make you so wealthy and wise
But what if I like sleeping past nine, praytell?
I think, well, I think it would be swell
If I could win the Nobel for the books I’d read
When instead of getting up I’d stayed in bed
If nothing’s ventured, nothing is gained
But it’s not all so clear and so sane
What if what you gain brings you pain, what for?
What if I asked for a little bit more
The ice cream man to come to my door
And if he hands me a treat instead of having to chase him down the street?
