Thread Name: Lyr Req: Where the Orange Blossoms Grow
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Where the Orange Blossoms Grow
I grew up in south Florida in the 50's and learned this song at Hialeah Elementary School. I think it's a great choice for a new Florida State Song, especially since there are more lyrics than I remember. The first verse as we learned it is:

I want to wake up in the morning
Where the orange blossoms grow.
Where the sun comes creepin' into where I'm sleepin'
And the songbirds say hello.
I want to wander through the orange groves
Where the children used to roam.
And I'll make my home in Florida
Where the orange blossoms grow.

Thanks for the memories, everyone! Anyone out there from Hialeah High?
