In the morning when I wake

And the sun is coming through,

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,

And you fill my head with you.

Shall I try to get it down?

Of a song I can't get out.

Can I take you to a moment

Where the fields are painted gold
Am7
And the trees are filled with memories

Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,
C G
And the day is almost through,

Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
C G
But my world is you.
