Lyrics 1. Like a pretty sunbeam shining, so would I be; All around with pleasure twining, so would I be; Chasing every cloud of sadness, Filling ev'ry heart with gladness, Like a pretty sunbeam, so would I be. 2. Like a merry brooklet flowing, so would I be, Doing good and joy bestowing, so would I be: Gliding on and on forever, Always happy, weary never, Like a merry brooklet flowing, so would I be. 3. Like a little birdie singing, so would I be. Sweetest music ever bringing, so would I be. Praising God who gently holds me In his loving arms and holds me, Like a little birdie singing, so would I be.
