Sweet Lura Rose

From the Album Well May The World Go (Smithsonian Folkways)

You are the morning
Bird at my window
You are the sparrow
My Lura Rose

Straight from the heavens
Down to the tree-tops
Into my heartbeat
Sweet Lura Rose

You are the morning
Sun at my window
Dancing at daybreak
My Lura Rose

Colors of sunlight
Spin to the rhythm
Of laughter that tickles
Sweet Lura Rose

You are the morning
Song at my window
Filled with surprises
My Lura Rose

Out of my night dreams
Into your daydreams
Plucking my heartstrings
Sweet Lura Rose
