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…
