[Intro – soft guitar strumming] Morning light wakes the garden bed Golden rays dancing overhead [Verse 1 – warm acoustic guitar] I saw a dahlia dressed in neon pink Brighter than any thought that I could think Layers of velvet reaching for the sky Catching the gaze of every passerby She stands so tall against the garden wall The proudest bloom of them all [Pre-Chorus – light percussion enters] The summer wind begins to blow Watching the colors start to glow [Chorus – melodic and bright] Oh, let the petals unfold in the heat Nature’s own rhythm, a steady beat From the vibrant magenta to the softest gold Stories of beauty that never grow old Living for the moment, drinking in the light Before the stars come out tonight [Verse 2 – steady rhythm] Beside her grows a rose of apricot hue Drinking the silver of the morning dew Petals like silk curled in a tight embrace Holding the sunlight with such quiet grace A different kind of fire in the green The softest glow I’ve ever seen [Pre-Chorus 2 – building harmony] The summer wind begins to blow Watching the colors start to glow [Chorus – melodic and bright] Oh, let the petals unfold in the heat Nature’s own rhythm, a steady beat From the vibrant magenta to the softest gold Stories of beauty that never grow old Living for the moment, drinking in the light Before the stars come out tonight [Bridge – sparse guitar, intimate vocals] Every season has a different song to sing Every blossom is a precious, fleeting thing We’re just rooted in the earth below Learning how to let the spirit grow [Solo – melodic acoustic guitar] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full and uplifting] Oh, let the petals unfold in the heat Nature’s own rhythm, a steady beat From the vibrant magenta to the softest gold Stories of beauty that never grow old Living for the moment, drinking in the light Before the stars come out tonight [Outro – slow fading guitar] Pink and orange in the afternoon sun The day’s sweet work is almost done
