In the grand way, she loves me
The way she holds me close to rest with me
And to know she is my life to me
My empty days are done, my running days are run
For the first time, I love the morning
Burning sundowns, colored autumn trees
Mountain rivers, country livers, put my mind at ease
And to realize such perfect harmony there
Standing in the dawn, of a new day coming on
I'm looking for no tomorrow
I can still hear the lonely sound
The engines of the midnight freight train is Northward bound
And to feel my life, my life slowly losing ground
I never quite understood, though I see it for the good
And it seems like, I've just been dreaming
The way she holds me close to comfort me
My empty days are done, my running days are run
For the first time, I love the morning
For the first time, I love the morning
For the first time, the first time
