Lyrics: John Denver. In The Grand Way.

In the grand way
She loves me
Way she holds me
Close to rest with me

And to know, she is my life to me
Empty days are done
Runnin' days are run
For the first time, I love the mornin'

Burnin' sundowns
Colored autumn trees
Mountain rivers, country livers
Put my mind at ease

And to realize such perfect harmony
Standin' in the dawn
Of a new day comin' on
I?m lookin' for no tomorrow

I can still hear the lonely sound
Engines of the midnight
Freight train is northward bound
And to feel my life

My life slowly losin' ground
I never quite understood
Though I see it for the good
It seems like I've just been dreamin'

Way she holds me
Close to comfort me

My empty days are done
My runnin' days are run
For the first time, I love the mornin'
For the first time, I love the mornin'
For the first time, the first time
