Beautiful is the sun its warmth on my face The day has begun at its own gentle pace Mamas blue coffee cup is still next to mine I almost filled it like I did all the time Then I stood by the window with tears in my eyes As the first morning sunshine came through the blinds She’d say dont waste the morning on yesterday Then shed look at me and laugh and say Let the day begin with a smile on my face Even with a heartache I cant erase Let the windows open let the sunlight stay Theres room for missing you and loving this day I dont have to let your memory fade To let the day begin with a smile on my face The dog still sleeps beside your rocking chair And sometimes I turn almost sure youre there I found your handwriting on a grocery list Funny how the smallest things are what I miss Then the breeze moved the curtains soft and slow And I stepped outside where the wildflowers grow I used to feel guilty when happiness came Like smiling could somehow forget your name But I hear you in the birds and the morning breeze Saying baby keep living a little for me Let the day begin with a smile on my face With a tear for the love that time cant replace Ill pull back the curtains and let sunlight stay Theres room for missing you and loving this day I can hear you in the quiet as the night slips away Saying let the day begin with a smile on my face Beautiful is the sun its warmth on my face The day has begun With a smile on my face
