Subject: Getting Up Early
Getting Up Early - Tom Paxton
Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land
I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned
I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze
These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Chorus:
How many times did we breathe the morning sun?
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then
Fall into each other's arms again
Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed
I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head
Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through
Getting up early, remembering you
Getting up early, remembering you
Repeat chorus and last verse.
