[Verse 1]
C/G F C/G
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
F C/G
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
F C/G
Turning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as I lay dying
F C/G
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
[Verse 2]
C/G F C/G
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
F C/G
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
F C/G
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
F C/G
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we'd have to spend
G C/G
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
[Verse 3]
C/G F C/G
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before, in my time
F C/G
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
F C/G
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
F C/G
Dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
G C/G
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
