(Verse 1) The coffee pot is singing low A melody that starts it slow I push the heavy curtains wide And let the morning flood inside The dust is dancing in the beam Just waking from a winter dream No grand parade, no trumpets’ sound Just violets breaking through the ground

(Chorus) And I am sipping sunlight from a cup I feel the green grass Waking up The world is painting colors new A sky of impossible blue I don’t need diamonds, don’t need more Than open windows and an open door Yeah, I’m just sipping sunlight Everything is gonna be alright

(Verse 2) I walk the street, the air is sweet With blooming jasmine and concrete A stranger smiles, I smile right back We’re leaving shadows in the black The heavy coat is left behind A lighter heart, a clearer mind It’s in the way the shadows play The simple magic of the day

(Bridge) So easy to forget the grace Of feeling wind upon your face We rush for gold, we run for miles And miss the joy in little piles But not today, oh not today I’m gonna stop, I’m gonna stay

(Chorus) ’Cause I am sipping sunlight from a cup I feel the green grass Waking up The world is painting colors new A sky of impossible blue I don’t need diamonds, don’t need more Than open windows and an open door Yeah, I’m just sipping sunlight Everything is gonna be alright

(Outro) Just sipping sunlight... (Taste the morning, taste the glow) Just sipping sunlight... (Watch the seasons come and go) Yeah, it’s alright. It’s alright.
