Singing With You
Words by Holly Near; music by Jeff Langley
Originally recorded on HARP reissued on Simply Love: The Women's Music Collection and HARP: A Time To Sing
Life is full
Of tides that pull
Oceans and hearts to shore

And I found it's like
The heat of dancing feet
Keeping a body warm

I like the melodies
In evergreens, roaming winds
And rocky mountains

Summer storms and hawks that
Warn innocent lands
Working hands and the
Miraculous birth of a child
Who demands attention

I have been such a child

Life's a gift of arms that
Lift baskets of fruit to share
And I find it's like a night
Of northern lights
Startling me, unaware

I like the whales at sea
The mysteries
Irish cliffs and desert flatlands
Weathered barns and farmers' yarns
Arrows unfound, quiet towns and
Incredible death oh, we know
It is bound to happen

chorus

Singing with you
Is the best thing that could happen
To me my friend
You throw me back a voice
That is a mighty bit more than
Making a dream come true
And when life is a burden
And every heart we know is
A hurting heart
The world is on trial
We're walking a mile
And singing with you is a start

A start for me
For my heart

Oh, life is full
Of tides that pull
Oceans and hearts to shore
And I find it's like
The heat of dancing feet
Keeping a body warm
I like the melodies
In evergreens, roaming winds
And rocky mountains
Summer storms and hawks that warn
Innocent lands
Working hands and the
Miraculous birth of a child who
Demands attention

chorus
