sweet as honey

by elsie gawler

 

can i grace your ears with these notes

and travel through your bones on their way home

can i touch your heart ‘cause you’re filling mine

and it’s sweet as honey when we’re keepin’ time

it’s sweet as honey in time

did i ever ask you did i ever need to

does the sun ever ask to shine

no it’s harmony in one, two, three

and sweet as honey when we’re keepin’ time

it’s sweet as honey in time

and oh, this time it’s flowing

and mmm, them spring winds are blowing

and ah, just as sweet as can be

and it’s sweet as honey

it’s sweet as honey, sweet as honey in time

oh so, hoist the sail and raise the anchor

this golden thread is launching off the shore

soft hands weave and joyous voices lead

they lead us to the space where we’re keepin’ time

it’s sweet as honey in time

it’s sweet as honey in time, it’s sweet as honey in time

so, here we are in the morning sun

the scent of flowers is sweet in the air

spring always leads to beauty it seems

there’s beauty in this heart as we’re keepin’ time

it’s sweet as honey in time

it’s sweet as honey in time, it’s sweet as honey in time…
