Getting Up Early - Tom Paxton Getting up early to see the mist still kissing the land I watch the sun rise the way the great creator planned I walk along grass, I get my legs all covered in dew Getting up early, remembering you Getting up early, remembering you Out in the meadow I see the cows beginning to graze I watch the crow fly, I see the sun start burning the haze These sunny mornings there's not a whole lot left to do Getting up early, remembering you Getting up early, remembering you Chorus: How many times did we breathe the morning sun? And send the stars off to bedtime one by one We'd sing Mister Tambourine man then Fall into each other's arms again Getting up early these days I just can't stay in bed I make the coffee, an old song runs around my head Out on the backwoods I've got a long day to get through Getting up early, remembering you Getting up early, remembering you Repeat chorus and last verse.
