Billy Gilman - Morning Gift

WORDS BY MATTIE J.T.STEPANEK

MUSIC BY JAMES T. SLATER

FROM THE BOOK HOPE THROUGH HEARTSONGS

Don't you love the morning when you go outside

And there on the ground is a fresh perfect green leaf

A leaf floating from the quiet summer trees

Just resting on the grass and waiting to be discovered

Touch the treasure and pick it up gently

And feel the excitement of a new leaf with no tears

No marks and no holes

It is the sign of healing and future

Don't you just love the morning

When you're reminded of the special gifts of life

Don't you love the morning when you go outside

And there on the ground is a fresh perfect green leaf

A leaf floating from the quiet summer trees

Just resting on the grass and waiting to be discovered

Touch the treasure and pick it up gently

And feel the excitement of a new leaf with no tears

No marks and no holes

It is the sign of healing and future

Don't you just love the morning

When you're reminded of the special gifts of life
