Early Morning Breeze

—Dolly Parton

I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
Closing it behind me and away I do sun
To the meadow, where the meadow lark is singing in the tree
In the meadow I go walking in the early morning breeze

I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
Freeing it, I Watch it as it flies away from me
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze

Chorus:
Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning dew still linger on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking in the early morning breeze

Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
For it's there I find the courage to greet the coming day
For there among the flowers, I kneel gently to my knees
To have a word with God in the early morning breeze
