How I See the World

You’re the sunrise slowly rising

You’re the birdsong breaking silence

You’re the morning glory climbing on my window

You’re the sweeping of the skies

The rolling river rushing by

You’re the hillside where I sit by Granny White

You’re the dirt on barefoot feet, and

You’re the grass stains on my jeans

You’re the child that’s wild and free from counting days

You’re a long-lasting summer

You’re a long-lingered supper

With the laughter spilling over all our plates

How I see the world is how I see you

I see you in how I see the world

I see the world

So I see you

I see you

You’re the prayer prayed from the phone

When I’m a hundred miles from home

You’re the voice that seems to know when I can’t speak it

You’re the moon that lights the night

On a sad and lonely drive

You’re the song that made me cry just when I needed it

How I see the world is how I see you

I see you in how I see the world

I see the world

So I see you

I see you

You’re the rainfall and the thunder

You’re the covers that I’m under

You’re the safety of the soul I sit beside

You’re those bright blue beaming eyes, and

You’re the dimple in his smile

You’re the wink that I receive across the aisle

How I see the world is how I see you

I see you in how I see the world

You’re the forehead kiss, the wine I sip, the joke I get, the one I miss

I see you in how I see the world

I see the world

So I see you

I see the world, so I see you
