[Verse 1]
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
[Verse 2]
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I ve been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we d have to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I ll ever do again
[Verse 3]
Coming close together with a feeling that I ve never known before, in my time
She ain t ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don t know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
Dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I ll ever do again
