lyrics

D Am D Am

G C
Towering cedars fill with rings
Am D
And persevere through whatever life brings
G C
The ocean waves make their lapping sounds
Am D
And we're among the last to see the sun go down

Like the first days of a newborn child
Time stands still, and yet it runs wild
I find I'm caught between the two extremes
Of wanting things to change and yet to stay the same

Em C
As much as I would like these things to pause
D Am/G G Am
I know time won't change it's laws for me, for me
Em C
I suppose I'll have to be content
D Am/G G
With how this sweet and rare moment
Am D Am D
Is lingering beautifully

This day was too much like the one before
And now it closes like just another door
The wild birds still sing out their melody
And I'm still waiting for You to deliver me

As much as I'm tired to be here still
I know that You won't bend Your will for me, for me
I suppose I must be satisfied
To know the things You will provide
Are lingering beautifully

As much as I can I will try my best
To just be still and to get some rest
I suppose there's not much else to do
But to sit and wait and know that You
Are lingering beautifully
