Tom Paxton - Reason To Be lyrics

My love lies beside me breathing soft and slowly Deep in slumber holy out on a sapphire sea On her lips but barely a gentle smile is playing A hint of come what maying as she lies close to me She is the one touch of heaven I know Here on this vagabond planet below Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be My love finds me waiting when the dawn comes creeping When she is done with sleeping with a whisper prayer She goes to her window as she is meditating She knows I am waiting, she knows I'll be there She is the one touch of heaven I know Here on this vagabond planet below Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be She will rise and wander through the long green gra**es As the warm day pa**es she might pause to rest I will walk beside her hand upon her shoulder As we're growing older still I love her best She is the one touch of heaven I know Here on this vagabond planet below Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be Deep in the peace of the morning I see She is my reason to be She is my reason to be
