My favorite song from 5th grade music class. I've sung it throughout my life. I give it a little more kick and soul than Mr. Jim Zimmerman (with all due respect).

I just did a google search because this song popped in my head from elementary music class. Guess it was a keeper!

Fourth-grade... the purple music book... I remember praying to advance from red (3rd grade) to purple.

Guess what I hum when I dare to look up in the sky and see stars... doing my morning runs? Only remembering the first two lines... to drive whomever I'm running with crazy. I always promised myself I'll Google it and forget it until tonight.

Such a beautiful song for a simple time in life.

I, too have been singing this song all my life from 6th grade on. Now my grandkids know it because I sing it about every time I see Orion in the night sky . My sentiments exactly about a simpler time, and innocent.
