Lyrics
Intro
Steppin' out, the morning shines
Ribbon tied and shoes aligned
Sun beams softly, pavement gleams
Ready for another day of dreams
Verse 1
There’s a waltz in my stride, light and true
Glances meet as I glide through
Shops awake with open doors
And laughter tumbles on the floor
Chorus
When I go walking down the street
Heads turn, smiles I meet
A hat tipped, a laugh so sweet
Oh, I float on nimble feet
Post-Chorus
La la la, la la la
Oh, oh, la la la
Verse 2
Window shades peek, voices sigh
Gentle breeze, the skirt sways high
Shopkeepers wave, children try
To follow the twinkle in my eye
Pre-Chorus
Every step is sunny and bright
Every corner, a friend to greet
I hum a tune for pure delight
Oh, the world falls in with my heartbeat
Chorus
When I go walking down the street
Heads turn, smiles I meet
A hat tipped, a laugh so sweet
Oh, I float on nimble feet
Post-Chorus
La la la, la la la
Oh, oh, la la la
Bridge
Gentle echoes of the avenue
Shoes tapping time, old and new
Dreams in the window, shining clear
Only footsteps I long to hear
Verse 3
Streetcars pass in summer light
Neighbors chat, a lovely sight
Every moment wrapped in cheer
My heart knows why I linger here
Chorus
When I go walking down the street
Heads turn, smiles I meet
A hat tipped, a laugh so sweet
Oh, I float on nimble feet
Post-Chorus
La la la, la la la
Oh, oh, la
Outro
Parting footsteps echo slow
Golden light in evening’s glow
Humming softly as I go
Back to where fond memories grow
Post-Chorus
La la la, la la la
Oh, oh, la la la
