(Dolly Parton)
|
I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
|
Closing it behind me and away I do run
|
To the meadow where the meadow lark is singing in the tree
|
In the meadow I go walking in the early morning breeze
|
I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
|
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
|
Freeing it I watch it as it flies away from me
|
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze
|
|
Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
|
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
|
Drops of morning due still linger on the iris leaves
|
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze
|
|
Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
|
For its there I find the courage to greet the coming day
|
For there among the flowers I kneel gently to my knees
|
To have a word with God in the early mornig breeze
|
|
A rainbow colored meadow kissed with early morning sun
|
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
|
Drops of morning due still linger on the iris leaves
|
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze
|
