It's five a.m. and I'm up with my little girl

Coffee in my teacup, the milk begins to swirl

Sparrows at the feeder, yelling at the squirrel

Big sisters running down the stairs

I can see the sunrise on the fresh white snow, red and yellow, blue and indigo

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah

I'm picking up the pieces of puzzles on the ground

Here's some French toast stuck to a doll I found

Digging through the records, I put Neil Diamond on

My grandma loved his songs

I can still remember, dancing in the dark, the two of us together, looking for a spark

And it's a pretty good place to start

Hoping for the strength to guide me

And I know, I've got this love that's inside me

Just a look, I see the whole world in your smile

All the beauty of a child

Hoping for the strength to guide me

And I know, I've got this love that's inside me

Just a look, I see the whole world in your smile

All the beauty of a child

It's nine a.m. now and the day has just begun

Your sister's off to school

There is only one

I'm trying to read the paper, the sparrow's song is done

She is sleeping in my arms
