Reason to Be


Capo 1st fret G C/G G My love lies beside me, breathing soft and slowly, C/G G C/G D Deep in slumber wholly, out on a sapphire sea. G C/G G On her lips, but barely, a gentle smile is playing, C/G G D G A hint of come-what-maying, as she lies close to me. D G She is the one touch of heaven I know, D G Here on this vagabond planet below. C/G G Deep in the peace of the morning, I see, D G She is my reason to be, C/G G Deep in the peace of the morning, I see, D G She is my reason to be.

My love finds me waiting, when the dawn comes creeping,
When she's done with sleeping, with a whispered prayer.
She goes to her window, as she's meditating,
She knows I am waiting, she knows I will be there.

She is the one touch of heaven I know,
Here on this vagabond planet below.
Deep in the peace of the morning, I see
She is my reason to be,
Deep in the peace of the morning, I see
She's my reason to be.

She will rise and wander, through the long green grasses,
As the warm day passes, she might pause to rest.
I will walk beside her, hand upon her shoulder,
As we're growing older, still I love her best.

She's the one touch of heaven I know,
Here on this vagabond planet below.
Deep in the peace of the morning, I see,
She is my reason to be,
Deep in the peace of the morning I see,
She is my reason to be,
She is my reason to be.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2007)
