When the mornin' sun comes peepin' o'er the mountains And nature's melody begins to play I wonder how a song that seems to be so short and sweet Could be as good again another day Oh, I loved you with a passion hot as sun And I picture when you were as fresh as spring I held you when the autumn wind blew in the winter cold And warmed you 'til the meadow turned to green Now the evenin' sun is sinking, moving homeward As I bid another peaceful day goodbye Our home is on the south side of an old hill country town Nestled here beneath the Texas sky And when you touch my hand, I know that you still love me And I know you know I'll always feel the same 'Til every season's day has come and gone, and come and gone And come and gone, and come and gone again
