Tom Paxton Gettin' Up Early
Gettin' up early to see the mist still kissing the land
I watch the sunrise the way the great creator planned
I walk the long grass get my legs all covered with dew
Gettin' up eary remembering you
Gettin' up early remembering you
Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze
I watch a crow fly I see the sun start burning the haze
These summer mornings not a whole lot left to do but
Gettin' up early remembering you
Gettin' up early remembering you
How many times did we greet the morning sun
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
We's sing "Mr Tambouring Man" then
We'd 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 'round my head
Out on the back porch I've got a long day to get through
Gettin' up early remembering you
Gettin' up early remembering you
How many times did we greet the morning sun
And send the stars off to bedtime one by one
We's sing "Mr Tambouring Man" then
We'd 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 'round my head
Out on the back porch I've got a long day to get through
Gettin' up early remembering you
Gettin' up early remembering you
