Lyrics
Let's Cherish the Day
(c) 2011 Kristina Stykos/BMI/Horse Thief Publishing
Come away, come with me now
Rise in the stillness - don’t make a sound
Step through this doorway blue as the sky
We’ll find a way, We’ll find the time
Come away, open your eyes
Walk in the river of the sunrise
Follow me quickly, through willow and pine
Gather your senses, share what is mine
Let’s cherish the day
For all that we’ve seen
Cherish the winds of change
For against them we lean
Cherish the tears of love
Pure channels through time
We’ll find a way
Let’s cherish the day
For all that we’ve dreamed
Cherish the leaf and the journey
The current, the stream
Cherish the crossroads
And those left behind
Cherish your life
Come away, there is no lie
Under this hemlock, under this sky
Come empty-handed, blessed and new
Lay here beside me hidden from view
Let’s cherish the day
For all that we’ve seen
Cherish the winds of change
For against them we lean
Cherish the tears of love
Pure channels through time
We’ll find a way
Let’s cherish the day
For all that we’ve dreamed
Cherish the leaf and the journey
The current, the stream
Cherish the crossroads
And those left behind
Cherish your life
