Lyrics:
The trees are always optimistic
And fill their branches with new leaves
I raise my arms into the coolness of the shade
And I say thank you

You left your watch down by the tideline
And found your joy there on the ocean
We marked the time with the beating of our hearts
And I say thank you

I was happy just to be there
When time stood still
Tracing the outline of the bay
And taking field notes on the subject of an endless day

The sun rejoiced on the horizon
And danced into the wildness of the sea
It couldn’t help but smile as it gave it’s final warmth
And I say thank you

We didn’t need to own an orchard
To taste the sweetness of the summer
And take the time to count our blessings one by one
And I say thank you

I was happy just to be there
When time stood still
Tracing the outline of the bay
And taking field notes on the subject of an endless day
