Honor

Laundry from the clothesline
Somehow smells like sunshine
Molecules of happiness
I close my eyes,

The memories come rushing in so fast and true,
I have you. I have you.

This morning as I lay in bed,
Not planning to get up or dressed
Just have a lazy Saturday at home
Don't want to do a single thing
Just lay here and enjoy the spring
But then I smell the sunshine and I know

that whether it is raining or the sky is blue,
I have you. I have you.

I'm gonna make the family breakfast,
Gonna tidy up my room
Gonna do those thousand little things
that you would always do.

I can sew back on that button,
write a letter to a friend,
And this way I'll teach the children
That all broken things can mend.

Your spirit is in all those little things I do.
I have you. I have you.

I can go and weed the garden,
Walking barefoot in the earth,
I can sing my children stories,
Of their purpose and their worth.

Gonna turn on the old radio
And probably sing along
Gonna dance while washing dishes
To some long-forgotten song.

And when the day is over and the time just flew,
I have you. I have you.

Laundry from the clothesline
Somehow smells like sunshine
Molecules of happiness
I close my eyes.
