Songs Written by Fred Rogers

Two popular songs written by Fred Rogers, the host and creator of "Mister Rogers Neighborhood":

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (1967)

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:

Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please?
Won't you please?
Please, won't you be my neighbor?

It's Such a Good Feeling (1970)

It's such a good feeling to know you're alive.
It's such a happy feeling: you're growing inside.
And when you wake up ready to say,
"I think I'll make a snappy new day.

It's such a good feeling, a very good feeling.
The feeling you know that
I'll be back when the day is new
And I'll have more ideas for you.
And you'll have things you'll want to talk about.
I will too.

It's such a good feeling, a very good feeling.
The feeling you know that we're friends.
