Porch Light Mornings

Sunlight's hitting the porch-step wood

We're sipping tea just like we should

Your tiny boots beside my

worn-out pair (ahhh)

You ask me where the wild birds go

And how the maples learn to grow

I smile and say we'll find out on the way

Grow up strong, but take your time

My hand in yours,

your hand in mine

(ooh-ooh) Underneath this wide and open sky

Your drawing's taped to the kitchen wall

I look at it and feel so tall

Before we know it,

years will turn to days

And when the storms begin to blow

I'll be the anchor that you know

Holding fast right here

Grow up strong, but take your time

My hand in yours,

your hand in mine

(ooh-ooh) Underneath this

wide and open sky

Underneath this morning sky...

(mmm-hmmm) Just you and I
