Lyrics:

[English]

I see a tree

I see a house

I see children playing

Going inside and out

I see sunflowers

everywhere

And a big scarecrow

with a hat on his head

And I'm not there yet

But someday I'll be

And i'm not there yet

But we'll see

Will you ask me

To go inside

Will you hold me and dance

Will you lay down by my side

Be there forever 'till we die

And you're not there yet

But someday you'll be

And you're not there yet

But we'll see

...

Will we have a sunday picnic

Will the boys wear blue and the girls wear pink

Will we travel around the world

Will we make everybody watch our family slideshows

But we're not there yet

But someday we'll be

And we're not there yet

But we'll see

And we're not there yet

Maybe we'll never ever be

And we're not there yet

But we'll see

...
