I Give You the Morning


G G/F# C/G G Ever again the morning creeps across your shoulder, G G/F# C/G G G/F# Through the frosted window pane the sun grows bolder. Em D D/C D/B Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleeping. D/A G I think I'll wake you now and hold you, G/F# Tell you again the things I told you: Em G D/F# G "Behold, I give you the morning, I give you the day."

Through the waving curtain wall the sun is streaming.
Far behind your flickering eyelids you're still dreaming.
You're dreaming of the good times and you're smiling.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you,
Tell you again the things I told you:
"Behold, I give you the morning, I give you the day."

Close beneath our window sill the Earth is humming.
Like an eager Christmas child the day is coming.
Listen to the morning song it's singing.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you,
Tell you again the things I told you:
"Behold, I give you the morning, I give you the day."

Like an antique ballroom fan, your eyelids flutter,
Sunlight streams across your eyes through open shutter.
Now I think you're ready for the journey.
I think I'll wake you now and hold you,
Tell you again the things I told you:
"Behold, I give you the morning, I give you the day."
Behold, I give you the morning, I give you the day.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1969)
