Color of the Sun

I was checking out my lawn Wintertime was almost done And birds were singing in the trees While waiting for the sun And I listened to that sound While my eyes were looking down Just beside my piquet fence I saw a flower on the ground Ref. My that little guy was wise Tried to reach to my surprise Every sunbeam from a cloudy sky Despite the snow and ice It was curious and young And the spring had just begun And it showed me Shivering in the breeze The color of the sun May God bless you, little friend May you last until the end Of the summer when the autumn leaves Will cover you again I will keep you in my heart As a very special sign Of the greatest star upon the sky Who gave you strength to climb Ref. My that little guy was wise Tried to reach to my surprise Every sunbeam from a cloudy sky Despite the snow and ice It was curious and young And the spring had just begun And it showed me Shivering in the breeze The color of the sun But when the evening glow The sky was hidden by some clouds And the rain was pouring down And exposed dirt on every road And I went out in the dawn Found my footsteps on the lawn But my little friend beside my piquet fence He was gone Ref. I was filled with many kinds of thoughts And grateful in my heart And I thanked the Lord for giving me This great rewarding part Like the one I just experienced While wondering around I found someone who could show to me I found someone who could show to me The color of the sun Later on I sat at home And the day was almost gone And I knew that deep inside I missed that color of the sun
