Spinoza Bear: I'm Your Friend (HQ Full Tape)

Reuploaded in better quality, this audio was taken from The Spinoza Collection CD.

Spinoza likes being a teddy bear and he's glad you're you. He discovers a field of flowers and notices each one is different, just like you and me.


I'm your friend

and my name is Spinoza

and whenever you're near me

I feel happy inside


If you like

we can lie here together

or if you're feeling restless

we can go for a ride


Like a butterfly we'd dance through the air

or like a whale we could go race through the sea

we could jump up to the moon

some lazy afternoon

or we could just be you and me!


If you're sad

you can cry on my shoulder

and if you're feeling happy

we can laugh all day long


You're my friend

and I know that you're special

it's so nice to be near you

and to sing you my song


Like a butterfly we'd dance through the air

or like a whale we could go race through the sea

we could jump up to the moon

some lazy afternoon

or we could just be you and me!


I'm your friend

I feel happy inside. . .



Hi! What's your name? Wow! I want you to know you're the only person in the whole wide world with your name who looks just like you. You're very special. I'm special too.


There are so many things to do every day - talking and playing, learning and having fun. A fun thing for me to do is to play pretend. I have a favourite place. It's very special. Look at the white fluffy clouds floating up there. Hummm. There is a red bird singing and whistling. Listen to the beautiful clear, songs. Ahhh. As he flies through the deep blue sky, it opens my heart. Hummm. The bright yellow sun warms my tummy so good. The green grass tickles my toes. Ho, ho, ho, ho. A flower! Oh, a whole field of flowers - all different colours and they smell so good, but each one is different just like you and me. I like visiting pretendland.

I like it when I discover and learn new things. Some of my bear friends curl up and sleep and dream all winter long. I wonder what they learn in their dreams. Hmmm.


You're my friend

I like being a teddy bear. When it's quiet, my bear friends and I sit in a circle and hum. Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. I like humming and hugging. I'm right here if you want someone to hug.
