C Em F C
Silently the morning mist is lying on the water
F Am C G
captive moonlight waiting for the dawn
C Em F C
Softly like a baby's breath a breeze begins to whisper,
F Am G
the sun is coming quick you must be gone.
C Em F C
Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing,
F Am C G
the promise of another sunny day.
C Em F C
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine,
F Am G
I do believe that summer's here to stay.
F C
Do you care what's happening around you,
F C G
Do your senses know the changes when they co---ome,
F C
Can you see yourself reflecting in the season,
F C Bb/F F C Bb/F F C Bb/F F
Can you understand the need to carry on.
C Em F C
Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see
F Am C G
so many ways and oh so many things
C Em F C
Rejoicing in the diff'rences there's no one just like me
F Am G
yet as diff'rent as we are we're still the same.
F C
And oh, I love the life within me
F C G
I feel a part of everything I see
F C
And oh, I love the life around me,
F C
a part of everything is here in me.
F C
A part of everything is here in me.
F C Bb/F F C Bb/F F C Bb/F F
A part of everything is here in me.
