Fran's Birthday

[Intro]

[Verse]
The morning sun begins its climb
Across the floor and through the glass
I watch the golden shadows pass
While counting out the beats of time
You wake up with a quiet smile
The kind that keeps the cold away
We have no need to rush the day
Just resting for a little while

[Verse]
The kettle hums a steady tune
A silver steam starts to arise
I see the spark within your eyes
Clearer than the brightest noon
We walk along the gravel lane
Where wildflowers nod their heads in blue
The sky is painted fresh and new
Without a single drop of rain

[Pre-Chorus]
There is a balance in the air
A lightness in the way we move
We found a pace we both approve
With plenty left for us to share

[Chorus]
Oh the world is wide and spinning fast
But here we find a place to stand
With open hearts and hand in hand
The heavy clouds have finally passed
It is a simple kind of grace
To see the beauty in the small
To feel no fear of any fall
While looking at your honest face

[Verse]
The garden fence is weathered white
The birds are busy in the leaves
A gentle breeze pulls at our sleeves
And everything feels bold and bright
We talk about the things we planned
The little house the wooden door
We do not ask for any more
Than what is held within our hand

[Pre-Chorus]
There is a balance in the air
A lightness in the way we move
We found a pace we both approve
With plenty left for us to share

[Chorus]
Oh the world is wide and spinning fast
But here we find a place to stand
With open hearts and hand in hand
The heavy clouds have finally passed
It is a simple kind of grace
To see the beauty in the small
To feel no fear of any fall
While looking at your honest face

[Outro]
