Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining Just for you, only today If you hurry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play Like every humming bird and bumblebee Every sunflower, cloud and every tree I feel so much a part of this Nature's got me high and it's beautiful I'm with this deep eternal universe From death until rebirth This corner of the earth is like me in many ways I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play On the face of it I'm blessed When the sunlight comes for free I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine The wind it whispers and the clouds don't seem to care And I know inside, that it's all mine It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn The mist that comes before the sun is born To a hazy afternoon in May Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful, yeah yeah I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play On the face of it I'm blessed When the sunlight comes for free I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me This corner of the earth, is like me in many ways I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play On the face of it I'm blessed When the sunlight comes for free I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me (I know this corner of the earth)
