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 till 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

Till every season's day has come and gone and come and gone

And come and gone and come and gone again
