Morning Dance

You came in the morning So young and fragile All pretty and soaring Like you were a child So gently you smiled You were twenty-seven Not older, I guess Your eyes were like heaven No trace of a stress Or unhappiness You said, 'Good morning, daughter The sky is bright and clear And I am glad we are here' You said, 'Good morning, daughter You're safe 'cause I am near And you ain't got nothing to fear' Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You've never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You've never died How come I thought You're no more among The living? Sure you are How come I thought You are gone And we're no more to meet? The rose's sweet odor Melted with the breeze Is taking me over It brings me contentment and peace We talk of the future Enjoying the now Our feelings are mutual And I'm cured somehow From every flaw I said, 'Good morning, mother So glad to see you, dear Don't vanish, don't disappear' I said, 'Good morning, mother You're safe 'cause I am near You ain't got nothing to fear' Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You've never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You've never died You're so beautiful and young Dancing in the sun And the sweetest day had just begun There's a lot to be done How come I thought You're no more among The living? Sure you are How come I thought You are gone And we're no more to meet? Sunbeams fell From high above Birds flew around When you danced in the light You smiled tenderly and said You've never died Fresh wind blew The sea was blue And calm as you Laughed and danced in the light Then gently you smiled and said You've never died You've never died
