  • Outside my window I see a red bird singin' sittin' on a wire
    Wish I knew what hes thinkin' outside my window
    I see a couple kissin', huggin' and a-lovin'
    Man, that's just what I've been missin'

    These days when everythin' is crazy
    Some things are never ever changin'

    You still need stars when you're wishin' at night
    A best friend to set you right
    A good laugh, a warm bath
    And a beautiful song you can sing along to
    Good news that'll make you cry
    All the little things that money can't buy
    No wars, no more, just a big rainbow outside my window
    La la la la la la

    Outside my window I see the bluest ocean
    Sails in the sunlight rockin' in the sweetest motion
    Outside my window I hear a church bell ringin'
    Nobody fightin' over what hymn they're singin'

    I know I'm dreamin' like a child
    But some things just don't go out of style like

    You still need stars when you're wishin' at night
    A best friend to set you right
    A good laugh, a warm bath
    And a beautiful song you can sing along to
    Good news that'll make you cry
    All the little things that money can't buy
    No wars, no more, just a big rainbow outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    La la la la la la

    Outside my window I see a flag that's wavin'
    Hands joined together, everybody's celebrating, yeah

    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Everybody's lookin' outside my window

    You still need stars when you're wishin' at night
    A best friend to set you right
    A good laugh, a warm bath
    And a beautiful song you can sing along to
    Good news that'll make you cry
    All the little things that money can't buy
    No wars, no more, just a big rainbow outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Everybody's look outside my window
    La la la la la la
    Look, look
    La la la la la la
    Outside my window
    Outside, outside (la la la la la la)
    Look, look, oh yeah (la la la la la la)
    Outside my window (la la la la la la)
    Outside, outside (la la la la la la)

    I love you people (la la la la la la)
    I love you (la la la la la la) Writer/s: Gary Burr, Mark Hudson, Sarah Buxton, Victoria Shaw
